Mark's Kids Book Recommendations
This book is as scary for adults as it is for younger readers! WAIT TILL HELEN COMES has all the ingredients of a great creepy read: ghosts, evil stepsisters, and a house in the country that was once an old church. Molly doesn’t trust her stepsister Heather, who is always getting Molly and her brother Michael into trouble. But when Heather begins talking to a ghost named Helen, warning her step-siblings about certain danger, things get worse. That is, until Helen comes! A truly scary read that’s excellently written to boot.
FORTUNATELY, THE MILK is an inventive and highly adventurous story that shows kids the endless possibilities of storytelling. An unsuspecting father goes out in search of milk for his children’s cereal and then the hi-jinks ensue! There are aliens, pirates and even dinosaurs in this high-speed thrill ride! Clever black-and-white illustrations by Skottie Young add that little something extra to Gaiman’s rip-roaring text. Gaiman is a deft writer in any genre and this book is no exception. Fun for ALL ages.
