Our Review

This special edition combines a thrilling historical adventure set in New Orleans with a fascinating nonfiction guide to the world of ghosts, offering a complete reading experience for young learners. Children join the beloved characters Jack and Annie as they explore the city's spooky history on All Saints' Day, then immediately dive into the factual research that inspired the tale. This dual-format approach seamlessly blends an engaging ghost story with educational content about history and folklore, making it more than just a simple chapter book.

The unique structure allows developing readers to satisfy their curiosity about the supernatural while distinguishing between imaginative fiction and researched facts. It's an ideal choice for children who are captivated by mildly spooky tales but also love to ask "is that true?" By presenting both the adventure and the background information together, this book naturally builds critical thinking and research skills, leaving young readers both entertained and thoughtfully informed.
