Ooh, Penny, yes. I can still see in my mind the skin dripping away from the face - very vivid descriptions in Stonewords. Melody Allen

Many years ago, Pam Conrad's Stonewords: a Ghost Story was on the SC Children's Book Award list. I still consider it to be the most frightening elementary children's book I know of. Conrad's writing not only created spinetingling suspense but her characterization of the ghost child was so believable that it made it that much scarier. Penny
