Why read it?
1 author picked Welcome to Dead Town Raven McKay as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a gorgeous, lyrical, very different kind of horror story for children. Aimed at middle grade, so ages 9-12, it tells the tale of young Raven, who is put into foster care in a very spooky town where half of the inhabitants are dead.

From Carolyn's list on spooky Halloween books for children.
