A spooky horror that gets things just right for young readers new to chapter books. Just scary enough, just easy, accessible, and illustrated enough, just enough early tension and foreshadowing with good pacing. It's even ambiguous enough at the beginning for readers to assume, if they choose, that the terrors are imagined and psychological instead of supernatural, nicely isolating the protagonist (and readers) to increase his fear. A good choice for those who want to be scared and are too young for longer fare.
