This entry in the De Puntillas en lugares escalofriantes (Tiptoe into Scary Places) series hits kids where they live: amusement parks. Cantor recounts creepy, alleged tales of people hearing their names whispered in the air, seeing shadowy figures pass by, and suddenly coming face-to-face with a gigantic plaster eye. Specific parks are spotlighted. In Japan, a whole park was dedicated to the story of Gulliver's Travels. Unfortunately, they built it near a "cursed and haunted forest" d the park, so goes the rumor, was a failure from the start. High-interest photos are included on each page, along with a text box with a backstory of the relevant haunting. A map of the locations of the parks, online extensions, and a supernatural terminology glossary are provided at the end of the book.

The old amusement park has been deserted for years. Thick vines surround a roller coaster track. The glass eyes of the horses on a merry-go-round stare off into the dark night. There's a low creaking sound. Is it the wind pushing the rusted swing ride, or is it something else? Get ready to read four frightening stories about haunted amusement parks. This 24-page book features controlled, narrative nonfiction text with age-appropriate vocabulary and simple sentence construction. The colorful design and spooky art in the book will engage and terrify emergent readers.
