is for you. Bestselling author Jeff Kinney introduces us to Rowley Jefferson
and his Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories.
If you love the dark and being scared, then prepare to

zombies and ghosts.
These comical, rollicking stories evolve from Rowley
Jefferson’s vivid imagination. With over 14 stories featured in this instalment

all learn from.
One of the characters in the stories is Rowan, who
discovers his hairy chest and uses hair remover only to discover a well-kept
family secret.
Then there is Jasper, the town prankster who wakes up,
only to realise he was dead? Did that mean he was a ghost?
Great Aunt Fannie who was mistakenly burned alive by her greedy relatives. Just because they simply wanted her out the way so they could watch the big game on her huge TV. They are in for a surprise!
Along with these hair-raising stories, are hilarious black and white illustrations which will capture children’s attention. Kinney has created an easy to read collection of short stories that are full of black humour and scary things. Perfect for reluctant readers.
