Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Spooky School
Britteny McBride · 2017
66/100
👎 Skip It
A sibling-centered early reader with a reassuring take on school anxiety is a genuinely useful concept, and the large font plus frequent illustrations show real consideration for emerging readers. The author's teaching background adds credibility, but thin plot descriptions and the absence of any critical coverage make it hard to recommend with confidence over more proven titles in this space.
