What if the world around you wasn’t haunted… but waiting? Scary Stories for Kids & Teens: Book Two brings twelve eerie, unforgettable tales where ordinary places turn strange one creepy detail at a time. A birthday gift that plays a song written just for its owner, a fog that whispers names, a snack machine that takes memories, a locker mirror that moves too late, a science experiment that learns too fast, and a principal everyone hears but no one ever sees—each story builds with clever, slow-burning suspense instead of gore or cheap jump scares.

Caroline Overington's stunning fiction debut is a multi-voiced novel centred around a child's death and its terrible repercussions.

There were no obvious signs of trauma, but the child, Jacob, died the next day. The story made the headlines, and hundreds attended the funeral. Few people were surprised when the boy's mother and her boyfriend went to prison for the crime.
