Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz is the perfect read for this week, and it’s just $3!
Speaking of scary, I once went as Other Mother for Halloween and I scared actual children. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you need to grab Coraline by Neil Gaiman for $3.
Mary Downing Hahn is another great author if you love spooky tales, and Deep and Dark and Dangerous is a ghost story that’s only $2.
Read The Witches by Roald Dahl for just $2, then see the new movie adaptation.
The Hallo-Wiener by Dav Pilkey is a fun Halloween picture book about a dog who wants treats, not tricks, and it’s just $4.
Skeleton Man by Jospeh Bruchac is a chilling book based on Native American legend, and it’s $3.
The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams and Megan Lloyd is a great pick if you have a little one struggling with fear, and it’s $2.
For just $2, snag Crankenstein, a hilarious picture book by Samantha Berger and Dan Santat!
And if you’re not in the Halloween or spooky story mood, pick up Gaby, Lost and Found by Angela Cervantes for $4, a heart-warming book about a girl who takes care of shelter animals and is looking for a forever home of her own.

Finally, Blizzard Besties, a novel by Yamile Saied Mendez about some kids who go searching for a missing brother in a blizzard, is also just $4.
Happy reading and if you’re trick or treating this year, be sure to take extra social distancing precautions!
