The kids in my class love these stories. They are short enough to do a whole class session on reading and comprehension skills in an hour.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stories

My class loved these stories and we got some great writing based on them/inspired by them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great length for encouraging reading
*by A***K on 10 May 2014*

Great length for motivating my 7 yr old to read small print in a proper book. Haven't read them all but seems that many have ghost and scary themes, which is a shame since they are pre-bed time reading for us.
