Screech!:: Ghost Stories from Old Newfoundland
Reimagined from family stories told across Newfoundland and passed down over generations, these ten spine-tingling tales traverse centuries and introduce readers to the Rock's nooks and crannies . . .
A spooky, illustrated collection of Atlantic ghost stories for middle-grade readers that is both eerie and educational, Screech!'s stories bring the island of Newfoundland to vibrant new life (and death). As an added bonus the tales are paired with black-and-white illustrations from Canadian artist Genevieve Sims, an overview of the Newfoundland storytelling tradition, a 'Story Behind the Story' for each tale, and a glossary of local terms.
"Cotter uses wonderful stories from previous generations and presents them in a way that current young adult readers will understand and appreciate." -- Canadian Review of Materials
