rachelgrinti Hi all! It's #mglitchat time again -- just in
time for Halloween, we're talking ghosts and other supernatural creatures.

another #MGLitchat! #mglitchat -9:01 PM Oct 25th, 2012

time - just in time for Halloween, we're talking ghosts and other supernatural
creatures. -9:02 PM Oct 25th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelgrinti OMG! *supernatural creature
fangirl squeal* I'm so glad I made this #mglitchat! -9:02 PM Oct 25th, 2012
elliefalcone Supernatural -- my favorite subject. #mglitchat
-9:02 PM Oct 25th, 2012
Bec_AS MG supernatural is about as scary as I like to get.
I'm not one for adult horror movies, etc. #MGLitChat -9:03 PM Oct 25th, 2012
lshullinger @elliefalcone Me, too! #mglitchat -9:03 PM Oct
25th, 2012
ilanawaters @elliefalcone Yes, I'm naturally super, so it's
an easy topic for me. ;-) #sarcastichumblebrag @ #mglitchat Oh and hi! *waves*

PBWorkshop Just an FYI in honor of all things spooky-
current issue of #HornBook has Neil Gaiman article- What the #*@& is a kids
book! #mglitchat -9:04 PM Oct 25th, 2012

was more Nearly Headless Nick in Harry Potter. #mglitchat -9:04 PM Oct 25th,

rachelgrinti There are a lot of MG ghost stories out there
-- any favorites? #mglitchat -9:05 PM Oct 25th, 2012
elliefalcone I'll be back. I need to reboot my modem and
router. It's slower than molasses in the middle of January. #mglitchat -9:05 PM
Oct 25th, 2012
JoWhittemore So...let's jump right into this! How scary is
too scary for Middle Grade, when it comes to things that go bump in the night?
#mglitchat -9:05 PM Oct 25th, 2012
Bec_AS @story_queen Reading Book 2 with DD, he just got
turned into black fog. #MGLitChat -9:05 PM Oct 25th, 2012
ilanawaters @story_queen I used to love ghost stories as a
kid. Now, ironically, am scared to death of them. #punintended #mglitchat -9:05

PBWorkshop Just read Kathi Appelt's #Underneath- amazing!
Avoided it until now due to animal issues. Where does mythology fit in this
topic? #mglitchat -9:05 PM Oct 25th, 2012
lisabrowndraws @JoWhittemore How scary is too scary? Depends
on the kid. No one size of scary fits all #mglitchat -9:05 PM Oct 25th, 2012

but plugged Trinket in author interview I did. Thought it might give U a happy.

lshullinger @lisabrowndraws @JoWhittemore So, true! My 3
kids had their different scary levels :-) #mglitchat -9:07 PM Oct 25th, 2012
rachelgrinti Too scary absolutely depends on the kid. Past 2
weeks my 4-6 grader writing group has been telling ghost stories. #mglitchat
-9:07 PM Oct 25th, 2012
lisabrowndraws I adore ghosty things (right, @adelegriffin?)
and have since I was a tot. #mglitchat Georgie the Ghost picture books, anyone?
-9:07 PM Oct 25th, 2012
JoWhittemore @lisabrowndraws Well, yes, but there has to be
an acceptable limit of what you expose an 8-year-old to, yes? #mglitchat -9:07
PM Oct 25th, 2012
story_queen @JoWhittemore Every kid's threshold is
different, I think. However, there seems to be a limit as to how graphic you
can be in mg. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Oct 25th, 2012

NatalieLorenzi Cliff McNish's BREATHE won its category in
the Virginia Readers Choice last year. Kids who adore scary books loved this
one. #mglitchat -9:08 PM Oct 25th, 2012
rachelgrinti One 6th grader told a lot of stories about
experiencing ghosts, the other jumped at the mention of creaking floors.
#mglitchat -9:08 PM Oct 25th, 2012

sweet:) #mglitchat -9:08 PM Oct 25th, 2012

"first step" beyond fairy tale scary into funny/creepy scary. Earwig
rocks! #mglitchat -9:09 PM Oct 25th, 2012

be those who have some inner demons of their own? Need "safe"

either. #mglitchat -9:10 PM Oct 25th, 2012

with a lil girl being eaten. But we have have other issues to deal with...
#MGLitChat -9:10 PM Oct 25th, 2012
lisabrowndraws …cont. I do think that kids can handle
scarier in books than they can in other media. #mglitchat -9:11 PM Oct 25th,

story_queen When I was a kid, I would read the ending of a
scary story 1st to see if I was brave enough to continue. #mglitchat -9:11 PM
Oct 25th, 2012
RosanneParry @story_queen @JoWhittemore I think cruelty is
more problematic than suspense. Spooky noises in the dark Yes. Torture, not so
much #mglitchat -9:11 PM Oct 25th, 2012

Downing Hahn, full of neglected dead children and dealt with suicide more than
once #mglitchat -9:11 PM Oct 25th, 2012

#reasonidontlikeereaders #MGLitChat -9:12 PM Oct 25th, 2012

just as a bit of comic relief does in scary films. Scaredy cats like me need
that! #mglitchat -9:18 PM Oct 25th, 2012
rachelgrinti @lisabrowndraws I think that's true. As a kid,
I put scary books down, came back later (and turned creepy covers face down!)

JeanGiardina @PBWorkshop We read in little chunks. The 8yo
also loves SoUE by Lemony Snicket so I hoped he'd dig the Grimm tales.

JoanneLevy I think I need to ghost out of here, friends. I'm
fading... #mglitchat -10:02 PM Oct 25th, 2012
PBWorkshop @ilanawaters Can be out of proportion, but MGers
sometimes think they are to blame for EVERYTHING, including global warming!

dianezahler @JeanGiardina Husband just taught some. Recommends
"Fall of the House of Usher" and "William Wilson."

JeanGiardina @ilanawaters Let's just say I've found candy
