Scary at seven is testing your nerve — creaky stairs, mysterious neighbours, stories you read a bit faster to get to the safe ending. Our shelf sits deliberately between silly-spooky and the first proper spook: real suspense, a genuine shiver, and always a landing a seven-year-old can handle. Each one hand-picked by Hannah, a former English teacher.
