Not what I expected, a surprise hit with my 9yo

Would you listen to Thalia Kids' Book Club: Guys Read Terrifying Tales again? Why?

My 9 year old aspiring author daughter loves this selection. It's an hour long panel discussion with each author writing an excerpt from their story, followed by a Q&A about the writing process, and ending with some kids reading their starts for scary stories. It's always nice to hear authors reading then describing their process.

Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?

Yes

Which character – as performed by Jon Scieszka – was your favorite?

He played Jon Scieszka throughout.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

The description could be better, but this worked out well for my family.

fun, a good book for short trips

This is fun and done before a live audience of kids and parents. Each donating author contributed a short short. Some of these were good enough where I wondered what's next! A question and answer period is done after the stories. The questions those young people asked were interesting.

Not worth it

Not worth it for any price. Very disappointed. This is a group of incomplete stories.
