Customer Reviews

For all ages and good for reading aloud

Again I didn't read all the description of the book before I ordered and at first, was dismayed at the target age group. But I was very pleased with the range of stories-scarey, sci-fi, mystery,etc. And I found myself wanting to read aloud many of these stories for the beauty of the language. I recommend this for anyone who keeps a sense of wonder.
