Simon Lester Henry Strauss is not in the least afraid of any haunted house, but there is something else that terrifies him.

It's Halloween and Jack and his ghouly family and friends have put together a haunted house. As the rhyme goes along, we meet a ghost, a witch, a mummy, a fairy, a monster and more. At the end of the rhyme, we see that all of the characters are actually just friends and family dressed up in costumes.

“Reluctant readers and fans of the Wimpy Kid series and its ilk will appreciate the book’s dynamic type, graphics galore, cartoonish illustrations, and ironic footnotes.”—Kirkus Don’t call him scaredy-cat Sam, because Sam Wu IS NOT AFRAID of ghosts! Except . . . he totally is. Can he conquer his fear by facing the ghost that lives in the walls of his house? After an unfortunate (and very embarrassing) incident in the Space Museum, Sam goes on a mission to prove to the school bully, and all his friends, that he’s not afraid of anything—just like the heroes on his favorite show, Space Blasters. And when it looks like his house is haunted, Sam gets the chance to prove how brave he can be. A funny, touching, and charming story of ghost hunting, escaped pet snakes, and cats with attitude!

"Based on the characters created by Susan Meddaugh."

Oliver Brown doesn’t believe in ghosts. Even though he lives in a house on Fear Street that’s chock full of them! Robbie should know—he’s one of the ghosts. And his new neighbor doesn’t scare easy—even though he’s tried everything he can think of to send Oliver screaming. Robbie’s got one trick left up his sleeve. And it has to work. If it doesn’t, he’ll have to give up the ghost business forever.

A cumulative rhyme in which the spider, ghost, cat, and other inhabitants of a haunted house wake up and startle each other.
