The author Paul Jennings is a former teacher and university lecturer who believes that kids who don't like to read are just disinterested. To prove it, he came up with an approach that appeals to even the most reluctant reader. This book, like his other collations of stories won't disappoint. This anthology boasts twenty of Paul's spookiest, fun-filled yarns, hand picked by Paul himself from his 'UN' collection. Below is a link to Paul talking about himself and his suburb:

This was a really great read. These stories had a spooky theme to them, but I'm not too sure they were very scary. I did get a little freaked out by the story 'Know all', which had a killer scarecrow. I have always been a little un-nerved by scarecrows. But I thought this was a great book, some stories might just fall into the 'funny' category though.
