Oddest Yet - Reviews
This YA collection of eclectic scary stories was created by an award-winning author (Ray Bradbury three times and a Silver Ben Franklin), and it shows. These are finely crafted tidbits meant to titillate the mind and disturb the soul. He creates believable scenarios, which makes them even scarier. Revenge, retribution, sacrifice, and redemption are common themes in his stories. They are crafted well enough to invite discussion after they’re read. We rated this book five hearts and have suggested it be made a Recommended Book for BookSense.

Creepy, grisly, ghostly you can share with your kids and, if you’re a kid, share with your parents. Spooktacularly entertaining summertime reading. Highly recommended.

Steve Burt enthralled our 6th through 8th grade students. The stories ignited much discussion in every class. These are stories that kids want to read and talk about! Kids are asking for his books and want to know when we can have him back. Teachers told me what a great day it was. The most successful author visit we’ve ever had.
