Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Under review. A collection of spooky, supernatural stories from the oral traditions of African Americans in the South, retold for a middle grade audience. The stories are great, as folklore always is, but the writing is weak in spots: there are some bits of awkward phrasing, and some of the stories are placed in narratives that are unnecessary and clunky. But if you're into folklore, the tales themselves are worth enduring the faults here. no reviews | add a review
