What if?
I work in the library at the K-8 school I work at. I’m around books all day. I’m also around kids all day. This got me thinking… What if we took the title of the book, sprinkled in limited knowledge of the actual storyline, and gave it a horror/thriller twist?
Below are movie posters for the children’s books that I’ve selected. Underneath each poster is a link to buy the actual book if you’re interested or need some reference.
