If kids at his age can read the Harry Potter books, which are scary too, this would seem be a great book for that age group.Alexander Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348112043924940744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-8285748643720961462009-03-16T21:53:00.000-05:002009-03-16T21:53:00.000-05:00Stacey - Blame it on life and work interruptions. ...Stacey - Blame it on life and work interruptions. I try to be prepared, and to compose my CSFF Blog Tour posts ahead of time, but that's not what happened this month. I'm makin' it up as I go!<BR/><BR/>Amy - Some of the books I've tried to read aloud have been mistakes, because they don't translate well to an audience of children with a wide range of ages. The Secret of the Shadow, however, has great Story Time potential.<BR/><BR/>Rachel - I've read scary material to kids (Coraline, for instance), but only after 1) a warning, and 2) a choice between the scary book and a milder book. Every time, the audience votes for the scary one. I have no idea why, but maybe they're curious, or they feel safe during daylight and with an adult in the room. Perhaps it's the idea of catharsis: "If I let the bad things happen in fiction, I won't be so scared of the bad things in reality." (shrug) I'm not an expert, just a reader!Keanan Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638962927055276969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-51397702427085994442009-03-16T21:01:00.000-05:002009-03-16T21:01:00.000-05:00I liked it too, though I found it pretty scary at ...I liked it too, though I found it pretty scary at times -- I think it might freak some of my read-aloud kids out!
