JUST BEYOND

This series is by R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps. Scary titles are always popular in our libraries. One option to get your child interested (or to stay interested) in reading may be to introduce them to this series! Then, after you read one of the books, you can watch the series on Disney +.
