Critical Praise

With contributions that range from frightening to romantic, action-driven to lyrical, there should be something here for everyone. — School Library Journal

The menace of darkness in these stories is...more campfire shivers than real danger, but that’s precisely the appeal. — ALA Booklist

The collection’s range of genres, from science fiction to vampire stories to realism, gives it broad appeal. — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
