Haunted House: a personalized story with your child as the hero
A spooky old house at the end of the street is impossible to ignore when the wind starts howling. Your child tiptoes past cobwebs and creaky doors, only to find that the things hiding in the shadows are more silly than scary. This story plays with the fun side of frights, turning bumps in the night into a chance to be brave.
This lightly spooky theme is best for children aged 6 to 9 and 10 and up who enjoy a bit of suspense.

Questions about this book
I want a spooky story, but I do not want to cause nightmares. How do I manage this?
The story is written fresh and you can steer how spooky it gets. Selecting the Courage lesson is a great way to focus on bravery. If any scene feels a bit too dark once you read the eBook, you can easily rewrite the text or ask for the picture to be redrawn.
Can I include my child's older sibling to help them be brave?
Yes. You can add up to four extra characters with their own photos. Adding an older brother or sister gives your child a trusted partner to explore the dark hallways with.
