The Legend of Skeleton Man: Skeleton Man and The Return of Skeleton Man | Joseph Bruchac

3 posts | 3 read | 3 to read

This spine-tingling middle grade collection brings together Skeleton Man and The Return of Skeleton Man—two modern classics that will chill you to the bone. R.L. Stine, bestselling author of the Goosebumps series, raved: “This book gave me nightmares!” Molly’s father grew up on the Mohawk Reserve of Akwesasne, where he learned the best scary stories. One of her favorites was the legend of Skeleton Man, a gruesome tale about a man with a deadly, insatiable hunger. But ever since her parents mysteriously vanished, those spooky tales have started to feel all too real. And things go from bad to worse for Molly when a stranger shows up one day and claims to be her great-uncle. A ghostly thin man she’s never seen before. A man who reminds her an awful lot of the Skeleton Man. But he couldn’t possibly be the same person from her father’s tale . . . could he? It’s up to Molly to uncover the truth about this fearsome figure and rescue her parents before it’s too late. This 2-in-1 collection is perfect for fans of R.L. Stine, Ellen Oh’s Spirit Hunters series, Holly Black’s Doll Bones, and any young reader who loves a good thrill.

I wouldn't have made it through this as a middle schooler because I did not do well with scary stories! I enjoyed this story & thought it was sufficiently unsettling to thrill middle schoolers. I liked the representation of Native American culture and legends throughout, and enjoyed the inclusion of Latinx and Hispanic traditions and legends in the second book (except when Dia de los Muertos was described as Mexico's Halloween). #ScaryStory

so-so

There are 2 stories in this book and book one was amazing, the fear that was created was so unsettling and I feared for Molly every second the story went on.

Book 2 was a let down, it got really info dumpy and took forever for skeleton man to actually come back and when he finally did it was very short lived.
