    Grandma's House is Haunted: book cover

    Grandma’s House is Haunted

    Written by Stephen G. Bowling

    Illustrated by Vitali Dudarenka

    Ages: 5-10 | 34 Pages

    Publisher: Valley of Mexico, Inc. (2023) | ISBN-13: 9781950957255

    What to Expect: Family, imagination, overcoming fear, and sleepovers.

    Staying at Grandma’s house is always fun—there are lovely things to eat, fun games
    to play, and stories to read. At night, however, Grandma’s house is not so nice. There
    are groans and taps, squeaks and bumps, shadows and dark corners. Surely these
    come from ghosts and specters, fiends and beasts, witches, hobgoblins, and devils?
    Luckily, Grandma is there to set these fears to rest. There are no ghouls and goblins,
    only an old house settling, leaky pipes and rusty hinges, and trees tapping at the
    windows as they move in the breeze. The haunting was all in the children’s heads!

    Few people can fail to relate to the unsettling feelings of excitement and unease that
    come from sleeping in an unfamiliar place. Grandma’s House is Haunted explores this
    feeling through the familiar scenario of a sleepover, capturing the way an unfamiliar
    setting—no matter how beloved—can set overactive imaginations racing. The
    accessible, fun rhyming text accompanies richly detailed illustrations inviting
    readers to explore the old house alongside the protagonists. The story is perfect for
    feeling safe while exploring the common fear of bumps in the night, blending
    excitement and coziness.

    Grandma’s House is Haunted is beautiful to look at and fun to read, perfect for shared
    sleepover reading.
