Creepy Islands
From the Series Spooky Stories for Grades 3-8
For most people, islands are a place to spend a relaxing vacation. Tourists often visit these beautiful locations to enjoy warm sandy beaches and rest by gentle ocean waves. Yet what if instead of sand and sun, an island is full of ghosts and other spooky creatures lurking in the shadows?
Among the 11 creepy islands in this book, children will discover a ghostly pirate who continues to look for the gold he buried hundreds of years ago, a lighthouse keeper who haunts the building where he once worked, and a small island where all of the inhabitants mysteriously disappeared. The creepy photographs and chilling nonfiction text will keep children turning the pages to discover more spooky stories.
