Description

The dark, secluded biography section at the back of the ancient public library is not a place many people want to visit. When Darren gets a homework assignment that leads him to the spooky room, he finds surprises around every corner.

Quick Summary

The Library Claw mixes spooky library mysteries with hilariously creepy illustrations that make checking out books feel like a dangerous adventure. Kids will giggle and gasp as Darren navigates the forbidden biography section, encountering strange sounds, moving shadows, and a mysterious claw that seems to have a life of its own. If your kid loves the goofy fright of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark or the silly suspense of The Bailey School Kids series, they will be completely hooked. This book is perfect for kids in kindergarten through third grade who enjoy light scares and library humor.
