      The Voice in the Boys' Room - Michael Dahl

      Cover

      Dear Reader,

      My friend Thom invited me to an unusual Halloween party.

      Each guest had to bring a scary story to read. There were only seven of us. After dinner, Thom lit candles and then turned out the lights.

      One by one, the guests told their tales.

      Some stories were from comics, some from books. One guest had printed his out from the computer. My story was the true tale of a haunted coal mine. Each story gave us goose bumps.

      You, too, have been invited to a party. By opening this book you have accepted the invitation. Don’t worry if you didn’t bring your own scary story. There are plenty here.

      You don’t need to turn out the lights, either.

      THE GOOSE BUMPS WILL STILL COME.

      Nina stood up and faced her giant chocolate birthday cake.

      Make a wish! Make a wish! her friends shouted. They crowded around the table to get a good look at the birthday girl.

      Nina’s mom and dad stood nearby, smiling, presents in their arms.

      Make a wish, honey, said her mom.

      Nina thought hard. Wishes were serious. She bent toward the nine candles and blew.

      Yeah! everyone shouted. The candles went out.

      But a breeze kept blowing. A strong breeze. It blew across the table, fluttering napkins and shoving aside balloons. Party hats went flying. Birthday presents tumbled onto the floor. The wind whistled louder and louder.

      Nina didn’t move. She stood still, confetti and streamers swirling around her. It’s coming true, she said.

      Nina’s mom fought against the wind to reach her side. What are you talking about? she yelled. What did you wish for?

      I wished Great-Aunt Sally could come to my birthday party, Nina said.

      No, honey, said her mom. Your Great-Aunt Sally died last week. Don’t you remember?

      The doorbell rang.
