Key Selling Points
- In this second installment of the Book of Screams series, we re-enter Tanya's struggle to vanquish the sentient ink that steals people's nightmares; other stories include the tale of a rabbit carcass haunting a young boy, a teacher whose student just might be a werewolf, and a teddy bear that possesses its owner.
- As with book 1, Jeff Szpirglas does an excellent job of giving readers a variety of scares, from chilling old-school horror monsters like werewolves to an outlandish giant insect alien masquerading as a dentist, so that kids will get a thorough introduction to horror, but in a manner suited to their age level and in bite-sized format.
- Readers of Book of Screams will enjoy reconnecting with Tanya's story as she tries to outwit the evil ink—this time with a new friend by her side.
- The character of middle-grade horror novelist Joel Southland (Tanya's nemesis) is affectionately based on Canadian writer Joel Sutherland.
- Horror and supernatural stories continue to be in-demand these days, and these suspenseful and gripping narratives will pull in reluctant readers.
- Book of Screams, the first book in the series, was selected as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and a nominee for the BC Young Readers' Choice Awards in the Red Cedar category and the Forest of Reading Red Maple Award.
- Jeff Szpirglas teaches middle school, so he is keenly aware of what entertains kids of this age, and he cleverly sets many of these stories in the ever-relatable school setting.
