Andrew Duplessie

In the interest of full disclosure, I did not realize this was a YA (Young Adult) book when I requested it from Net Galley. That said, this was VERY entertaining. It is 181 pages on my iPad and most of the stories are 2-4 pages long. Many are chilling and several made me laugh out loud at their cleverness. When our kids were 8 to 10 years old they went through a Goosebump phase. I was the mom who pretty much let her kids read anything. Captain Underpants? You bet! Now that they are both adults they still have the love of reading. I would recommend this book for a mature 13 year old child. If you want to read it together to a younger, curious child that would probably be fine. Some of the stories are downright creepy so adult supervision would probably be best for young, impressionable minds. After each story is a QR code of sorts that has a visual ending to the story. Some of these were MAJOR creepy. And also very clever! Kudos to Andrew Duplessie for bridging the gap between Goosebumps and Stephen King. I wish this had been around when I was a teenager!… (meer)
