DANCING WITH THE DEVIL AND OTHER TALES FROM BEYOND by Rene Saldana. Pinata, 2012.
Here is a nifty collection of shivery tales in English and en Espanol from Texas author Rene Saldana. Enter La Llorona, the devil himself, and other creepy characters who will interact with young people at the school dance, a marble tournament, and other seemingly everyday places and events. Perfect for reading aloud (in the dark with flashlights), this collection just might lead readers to some other books. Tie to Alvin Schwartz' SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK as well. <360>
