This spine-tingling middle grade collection by an acclaimed author and
Nulhegan Abenaki citizen brings together Skeleton Man and The Return
of Skeleton Man--two modern classics that will chill you to the bone.
R.L. Stine, bestselling author of the Goosebumps series, raved: "This
book gave me nightmares!" This middle grade novel is an excellent
choice for tween readers in grades 7 to 8, especially during
homeschooling. It's a fun way to keep your child entertained and engaged
while not in the classroom.
Molly's father grew up on the Mohawk Reserve of Akwesasne, where he
learned the best scary stories. One of her favorites was the legend of
Skeleton Man, a gruesome tale about a man with a deadly, insatiable
hunger. But ever since her parents mysteriously vanished, those spooky
tales have started to feel all too real.
And things go from bad to worse for Molly when a stranger shows up one
day and claims to be her great-uncle. A ghostly thin man she's never
seen before. A man who reminds her an awful lot of the Skeleton Man. But
he couldn't possibly be the same person from her father's tale . . .
could he? It's up to Molly to uncover the truth about this fearsome
figure and rescue her parents before it's too late.
This 2-in-1 collection is perfect for fans of R.L. Stine, Ellen Oh's
Spirit Hunters series, Holly Black's Doll Bones, and any young reader
who loves a good thrill.
