Book Review
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes spooky stories
This book was so amazing I nearly peed my pants! My favourite story was the one about the snowmen because it was so creepy. I was shocked when it was revealed about the new girl. My favourite illustration was on p.86 Jack Frost looked so cold.
I loved the characters they were so brave and Maya was always getting them into trouble. Winter is my favourite season I love going sledging and I liked that all the stories were about winter. I liked how their nightmares came true and it ended where it started.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes spooky stories.
About the Book
As the nights draw in so enters the season for spooky stories. Chris Priestley is an expert at writing and illustrations those!
When Maya and her classmates are asked to write a creepy story with a winter theme, they come up with some brilliant ideas. Rising floodwaters uncover long-buried bodies and ghostly children take to the ice on a frozen canal. But as each of the stories is read out in class, Maya grows more and more uncomfortable. She features in each of her friends’ creepy tales and they start to feel a little too real. Finally, when a mysterious new girl stands up to read the last story of the day, the light outside dims and it starts to snow. The classroom starts to freeze but everyone is trapped. Can Maya stop the story before the nightmare comes true?
