Why read it?

1 author picked You Wouldn't Catch Me Dead as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Tess has written a brilliant blend of thriller and horror here, her second book. The twists and turns are so clever; it is completely, terrifyingly gripping. 

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