Grab a flashlight for an after-dark exploration of seven very scary places. Giggles and goose bumps are in store!
Take a tour of seven spooky places, among them the Wicked Woods, a Ghostly Galleon, and the Western Terror-tories. Along the way, avoid booby traps, search for hidden objects, and learn basic map reading skills! A map key, items to look for, and points of interest, such as Dracula’s Castle and Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory, are included for each eerie region. Tips for touring (never take the Transylvania tour during a full moon) add to the fun. Kids who love to mix the ghoulish with the humorous will pore over the atmospheric pictures time and again, transported to strange, mysterious, very scary places.

My Take on the Book
My eldest daughter loves scary things and places, so this book was completely a draw for her. She was intrigued by the name of the book and then about the content. As she got into the book itself, I could not stop her from reading it further as she did not want to put it down. I asked her what she liked the best and she said "the whole thing". For me, as a parent, the content in the book was great, but even better, in my opinion, were the illustrations as they match the book completely, and provide a great backdrop for the overall story itself!
