Contributors include Carnegie Medal winners Mal Peet and Philip Reeve along with many other favourite writers.

Spectacularly spooky and entertainingly eerie, Haunted is a must read for Halloween!

What do you get when a bunch of favourite children’s authors join forces and create an anthology of ghostly short stories? Haunted – a spectacularly spooky and uniquely crafted book – is what you get!
