Legend of Skeleton Man: Skeleton Man and the Return of Skeleton Man

This spine-tingling middle grade collection by an acclaimed author and Nulhegan Abenaki citizen brings together Skeleton Man and The Return of Skeleton Man--two modern classics that will chill you to the bone. R.L. Stine, bestselling author of the Goosebumps series, raved: "This book gave me nightmares!" This middle grade novel is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 7 to 8, especially for reluctant readers.

Molly's father grew up on the Mohawk Reserve of Akwesasne, where he learned the best scary stories. One of her favorites was the legend of Skeleton Man, a gruesome tale about a man with a deadly, insatiable hunger. But ever since her parents mysteriously vanished, those spooky tales have started to feel all too real.

And things go from bad to worse for Molly when a stranger shows up one day and claims to be her great-uncle. A ghostly thin man she's never seen before. A man who reminds her an awful lot of the Skeleton Man. But he couldn't possibly be the same person from her father's tale . . . could he? It's up to Molly to uncover the truth about this fearsome figure and rescue her parents before it's too late.

This 2-in-1 collection is perfect for fans of R.L. Stine, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Holly Black's Doll Bones, and any young reader who loves a good thrill.
