The Ghost & I

Scary Stories for Participatory Telling   This anthology of audience participation stories is the next in a series of books that began with the publication of Joining In. Jennifer Justice, a marvelous storyteller from Boston, combines her keen editorial ability with her intimate story sense to bring us into the realm of ghostly humor and fright. The Ghost & I features 16 tales by award-winners Joe Bruchac, Rafe Martin, Heather Forest, Laura Simms, Jay O'Callahan, and more. The stories, geared for ages 5 - 14, vary from funny to frightening, and from simple to complex in plot and imagery. Some of the stories invite a great deal of physical participation, while others simply inspire active listening by repetition and anticipation. As with Joining In, notes for each tale clearly demonstrate how to encourage audience involvement.   Edited by Jennifer Justice Paperback
