  In this spinoff to the New York Times–bestselling Goosebumps series, best friends enter a haunted house and a spirit tries to keep them there forever. 
   
  Scott Harmon would be the kid who is most afraid of everything at his school. That is, if it wasn’t for his best friend, Amanda Gold, who is just as easily terrified. They really don’t have it easy. Scott’s younger sister spends all of her time trying to frighten them. She’ll do whatever it takes to get them to scream. Scott and Amanda are also tormented by some neighborhood kids. But this Halloween, Scott and Amanda are determined to conquer their fears, even if that means spending time in the creepy old house that everyone else says is haunted. And if Scott and Amanda can stop being so afraid, maybe they can even finally get some revenge. Unless the house really is haunted . . .

  “Delightful and charming . . . Deliver[s] a valuable lesson on treating all such creatures with respect, without falling into the trap of being preachy.” —Kiddiespace  A Huntsman Spider in My House features a young girl concerned about the huge unwelcome guest in her room. Rather than reacting by immediately killing the spider, as commonly taught by society, she finds another way: She catches the Huntsman instead, and then releases it outside to let it live and contribute to the ecosystem of Australian fauna. The little girl’s actions show that insects are important, necessary, not so scary, and support the world too.   “The young, nameless female protagonist of Sylvie Ashford’s charming book speaks in rhyme as she explains the habits of Huntsman Spiders to children as well as to the adults that read the book aloud . . . We thoroughly endorse educating young children to have more tolerance for the lower beasts.” —What’s That Bug?   “The story follows her beautifully simplistic childlike thought process as she explores her feelings about it, and the ways in which the spider could be dealt with . . . It leaves you with a deep sense of satisfaction, and provides a practical fear-resolution solution to which kids of all ages can relate.” —Kiddiespace   “Michelle Ray, author of A Huntsman Spider in My House, does a wonderful job weaving a story to teach young children not to be afraid.” —The Education Cafe

  This odd little nursery rhyme is familiar to us all but have you ever wondered, like I have, about what Miss Muffet was thinking as she sat dreamily eating her curds and whey?  And what are curds and whey, anyway? Her tuffet?  would that be a piece of furniture or a piece of her anatomy?  And of course the large spider, what was she thinking? I'll bet she was as scared as Miss Muffet !!   
    Well, Frank Baum, the beloved author of the Wizard of Oz series, finally tells us the whole story about Miss Muffet and her little known struggle for freedom from the many nursemaids who watched her constantly.  True, her parents were very rich but their sad little girl, Muffet, was never allowed to do anything fun at all like run in the grass or play in the mud as she longed to do.  Will she succeed? Listen and find out.
