Spooky Reads for Half Term!

WoooOOOOoooo! We love Autumn - pumpkin soup, colourful falling leaves and dark nights drawing in. It's the perfect time to get cosy in your favourite chair and read a good spooky story together. We have put together a list of lovely ghost stories, with only-slightly-creepy picture books, chapter books suitable for younger readers all the way up to teenage and young adult readers.
