    Written by Carole P. Roman

    Illustrated by Mateya Arkova

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Susannah Maya Logan is not having a good day. She doesn’t want to go to her best friend, Lola’s sleepover. Susannah thinks the house is big and spooky, not to mention the ghost that is said to live there. Lola’s big brother, Kai, loves to tease Susannah with scary stories. Throughout her day, she sees people deal with things that scare them. Her sight-impaired friend, Macy, is terrified of unicorns, of all things. She sees a boy at a party who’s frightened of clowns. Her teacher is afraid of getting a cold. Susannah realizes everybody is scared of something. She wishes she was more like Lola, who is not afraid of anything, or so it seems. Susannah discovers people have different ideas of what is scary and what is not, and only they can determine the difference. Join Susannah as she learns to confront her fears and not let her imagination prevent her from having fun.

      I love that the new Oh Susannah book: Things That Go Bump teaches children to confront their fears. My son needs a little help with this.

      To answer the question about why I want to win this giveaway, it is because I know a child who would be the right age for the two books and would really like the backpack. The Things That Go Bump book sounds like it would help kids to understand that everyone is afraid of something. I like the cover of the Things That Go Bump book. It looks very imaginative and colorful.
