Out to Get You: 13 Tales of Weirdness and Woe by Sarah J. Coleman, Josh Allen
4.0
This book is a collection of creepy short stories. It follows middle school-aged children through all sorts of weird and unexplainable events. Some are bizarre and others are downright spooky. I feel like I would have enjoyed this so much in middle school and I hope more children find this book.
I rarely read short story collections but I liked this one. Some of the stories were a little weirder than others for me, but I never felt like I could stop reading. Something about the unknown and what would happen next kept me wanting to read more. My favorite story was "The Voice" because it just seemed like the right thing to happen to someone who was so cruel. The other stories that had cruel things happen to innocent kids were my least favorite. That may just be the protective mother in me, but I preferred when the kids weren't getting hurt.
