      Gr 2-5-This well-written series engages readers. The text features short, easy-to-read sentences and captivating, occasionally grisly accounts. The details of profiled "spots" include the location, history, dates, people or legends associated with them, and ghostly events that allegedly occurred or were witnessed. Some descriptions are brief but offer enough information to excite imaginations. Atmospheric, full-page color photos are accompanied by interesting captions. The beginning of each title showcases a U.S. and a world map; the locations of each spot are labeled. "Frightful Fact" text boxes provide additional information. A "Spooky or Science?" page in the back matter of each title offers plausible, science-based explanations for why people may experience paranormal phenomena. The "Online Resources" section includes a website and a QR code. VERDICT Recommended for schools and libraries. Caveat: Note the term lunatic asylum in Spooky Hospitals. Not gruesome: Spooky Forests & Caves; Spooky Schools & Libraries.
