How it begins...

'For Stella Rosa's older brother Simon,
there was no better fun than scaring his sister.

Sometimes, it was shouting "BOO!" when she least expected it.

Sometimes, it was putting a spider on her plate...
but Simon's favourite way to frighten his sister
was to tell her a scary story.'

I have to say, that's a great opening, which is worth saying because openings are so damned hard to write well. I tend not to read children's books, but I find myself wanting to read this one. Here is wishing you the very best of luck with it.
