The Ghost of Wolverine Forest is a scary chapter book for brave young adult readers (ages 10 and up), designed specifically with reluctant readers in mind. This is the first book in the Ghost of Wolverine Forest trilogy. Brief chapters announced by run-on scary tag introductions and bracketed by regular spooky, scary black and white illustrations help keep reader interest high. Dramatic and action packed, The Ghost of Wolverine Forest is sure to excite, interest, scare, and intrigue its young adult readers. Twenty years ago, young Tommy Hansen stepped into the Wolverine Forest with camera in hand to take pictures of wildlife. But he never came out ... alive. Police found his bones and his camera, and when they developed the film, a horrific creature and an old haggard woman were in one of the photos. The snarling creature appeared to be closing in on Tommy, and the old woman in the background was smiling. Twenty years later, 11-year-olds Brad and Sarah enter the forest, riding double on an all-terrain vehicle, or quad. Deep inside Wolverine Forest, they get lost and run out of gas and are forced to spend the night. Huddling next to their campfire, they're suddenly interrupted by someone (or something) that will change their lives forever! The Ghost of Wolverine Forest makes an ideal Halloween gift (or a gift for any occasion) for the young adult in your life, a gift which will contribute to their overall education beyond the scary entertainment function.
