Book Details

THUD. THUD. THUD.

Thud. Thud. Thud!

Is it neighbor, friend, or stranger?

Rhythm and a bit of colonial history back matter, make POOR FARM MEADOW: A True Ghost Story a rare Halloween picturebook that delivers light suspense for ages 4 and up.

The dark, hand-painted misty riders are eerie, creating mystery in a rural  setting that transports the neighborhood gang of six from initial interest, to haunting fear, and a final moment of lingering curiousity.

A truly spooky story for read aloud campfires, Halloween Night, or autumn leaves' trick or treating fun.

 

Book Excerpt

We are in the groove, our pace set --the honor of who rings the bell decided-- when the beat of something approaching, grabs our attention, and disrupts our Halloween pursuit.

 

About the Author

Cynthia Centerbar

Cynthia Centerbar grew up in rural Vermont near a poor farm and heard stories about the farm's mean living conditions.  Running through its meadows, she heard screeching coming from it's abondoned barn. And on warm summer nights, she imagined the tapping outside her open window was farm spooks, playing in the decaying house.

Then in 1996, on a blustery Halloween, while trick-or-treating, her childhood imagination came true!
