15 posts | 17 read | 10 to read
A chilling tale from one of Canada's best-known authors, Governor General's Award nominee Allan Stratton. Cameron and his mom have been on the run for five years. His father is hunting them. At least, that's what Cameron's been told. When they settle in an isolated farmhouse, Cameron starts to see and hear things that aren't possible. Soon he's questioning everything he thought he knew -- including his own sanity. What's hiding in the night? Buried in the past? Cameron must uncover the dark secrets before they tear him apart.

A couple of these might be a bit more #YA than #MiddleGrade, and I‘m not sure they all have ghosts, but this seemed as good a time as any to share my October recommendation shelf.

The tagged is my favorite spooky read to recommend. For a long time the reader doesn‘t know if it‘s a ghost story or if the main character is hallucinating.

A quick, creepy read.
Liked the short chapters. The abusive parent storyline was very authentic and haunting.

Read from September 19th-October 1st, 2018.

This is a great book that I think deserves more attention, so it‘s my pick for #YA mystery/thriller! I‘ve successfully recommended it to several students.

Cameron & his mom are on the run from his abusive dad, and their story is intertwined with the mysterious disappearance of a boy many years ago.

I love this book!! It‘s worth reading twice! It‘s a thrilling story about a boy being able to talk to a ghost who used to live in his house.
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Dogs is my choice for a scary book that deserves more recognition. This ya novel is part ghost story and part real life terror all rolled up in one! Plus I've successfully recommended it to several junior high students.

I don't tend to read #scarybooks, but The Dogs is a very creepy story that I thought was fantastic! The rest of these are books I think apply from my class library. I would have added some books by April Henry, but they are all checked out. Anna Dressed in Blood is on my October TBR for the #ReadHarder challenge as a horror book.

This book is wonderful. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. I definitely couldn't put this one down. Also, the author was great to meet at the Festival of Trees in the spring.
