Summary

Have you ever seen a figure moving in the darkness? Do shadows come alive and dance on your walls? If a ghost borrowed your headphones, would you run and hide? If so, then you may be Too Scared to Sleep.The seven unnerving stories in this original collection feature action figures that come alive at night, a ghost’s first encounter with an MP3 player, and a karaoke machine that terrifies a sleepover party. These modern and supernatural thrills are perfect for readers who are still working up to the heavy-hitting chills of Goosebumps.
