Praise forBeneath the Bed and Other Scary Stories(Mister Shivers #1):

Selected by the New York Public Library as one of 2019's Best Books for Kids!

* Brallier's (The Last Kids on Earth and the Cosmic Beyond, 2018, etc.) strong horror chops translate well into this Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark-lite package for early chapter-book readers... Simplified spooks for the we-want-it-just-scary-enough crowd. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Praise forShadow in the Woods and Other Scary Stories(Mister Shivers #2):

Selected by the Chicago Public Library as one of 2020's Best Books for Kids!

Brallier effectively repeats the screamworthy formula established inBeneath the Bed and Other Scary Stories(2019) to add a sense of familiarity to the foreboding... The abrupt, disquieting endings mix the creepy and weird with the genuinely terrifying, creating a nice balance as readers jump bravely between stories... Easy to read but definitely not easy to forget. --Kirkus Reviews
