Scary at five is a giggle with a shiver in it — friendly monsters, torchlight surprises, a bump in the night that turns out to be the cat. Our shelf keeps it firmly on the cosy side: just enough suspense to be thrilling, never enough to follow them to bed. Each one hand-picked by Hannah, a former English teacher.
