A boy who makes up tall tales to scare his friends, but has the tables turned on him… A girl who should have been more careful what she wished for… A young know-it-all who is sure he knows how a magician's tricks work… These are just three of the terrifying tales featured in the fantastic collection from bestselling author Jack Goldstein.
