Description
From acclaimed author Barbara Smith comes this long-awaited series of children's books. Based on true accounts of hauntings, and told with a master storyteller's eye for detail, these collections will scare, astound and instruct kids of all ages. This book is the perfect spine-chilling companion for young readers on long journeys. This collection of chilling ghost stories takes place on highways, byways and aboard a variety of types of transportation. A mysterious model plane flies in circles over an eerie pit, warning a passerby of a strange situation below. Goaded by a creepy bus driver, a boy gets on a weird school bus and realizes the passengers are from another time.
