The Haunted States of America by Ellen Hopkins & Solomon Hughes
This is for kids who love Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. It’s an anthology of urban legends from each of the 50 U.S. states plus Puerto Rico and D.C., written by 52 authors. Authors include Ellen Hopkins, Freeman Ng, Dusti Bowling, Padma Venkatraman, Giselle Liza Anatol, and more. Some are established middle grade authors, while other authors are new. The stories are imaginative, and you can tell the authors had a lot of fun writing them. Some of the stories are downright scary, while others are much tamer (though still good). Urban legends include retellings of La Llorona, the Jersey Devil, Bigfoot, ghost stories, haunted houses, and more.
