Hi, was wondering if anyone has scary book recommendation for my 2nd grade sister who currently has a 5th grade reading level. I'm trying to encourage her to keep reading since a lot of kids are age aren't interested. Preferably not books with evil spirits simply bc i don't think my mom would approve.
