About the Author
Howard Schwartz also lives in Missouri.
From Booklist
A sequel to Ask the Bones (1999), this tour of the world’s shadowy corners is full of dark wizards, unkind witches, and other untrustworthy creatures. No matter if the stories originate from Ireland, Iceland, China, or Turkey, they all offer up similar lessons: don’t try to outsmart magical beings, for example. The 22 tales, as retold by Olson and Schwartz, give a vivid glimpse into unfamiliar, unnerving territory, but they are short, so they won’t draw young readers too deeply into nightmarish worlds. The atmospheric illustrations, while not intricately detailed, are somewhat startling in their imagery: a skull featuring a single, staring eyeball or a close-up of an aggressive rat’s snarling head. Olson and Schwartz sometimes end their stories with a direct question that adds more shivers; after one tale about a skull that is searching for a new family to haunt, the text asks, “How about yours?” In other selections, plot twists, transformations, and other mysteries are left to be pondered over, probably at bedtime. Full source notes for the stories are provided in an appendix. Grades 4-7. --Abby Nolan
