Skeleton Man

Praise for SKELETON MAN: "The legend is chilling-and the terror builds on every page. This book gave ME nightmares!" -- R. L. Stine, New York Times bestselling author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series

 

"An incredibly scary story that will make hearts beat and brows sweat." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

 

"Bruchac vigorously cranks up the suspense, and pits a ghastly creature against a resourceful young heroine who draws both on courage and cultural tradition. A natural for under-the-blanket reading." -- Kirkus Reviews

 

"Bruchac gives full play to his talent for the creepy, and the introduction of bits of American Indian lore and story are smoothly and capably integrated. Reluctant as well as eager readers will relish this fast-paced supernatural chase." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

 

"Although it's steeped in Mohawk lore and tradition, Bruchac's story is contemporary both in its setting and its celebration of the enduring strength and courage of Native American women." -- ALA Booklist

 

"The mix of traditional and contemporary cultural references adds to the story's haunting appeal, and the quick pace and suspence will likely hold the interest of young readers." -- Publishers Weekly

 

Praise for THE RETURN OF SKELETON MAN: "Engaging and fast-paced sequel to a modern horror classic." -- School Library Journal

 

"The tale of the suspenseful faceoff between the heroine and her nemesis will surely keep readers turning pages." -- Publishers Weekly
