Synopsis

"The Book of Legends" follows a young boy named Spencer who is watching his two younger siblings, as they are all alone in the house. Not willing to go to bed, just yet the two young siblings ask Spencer to tell them stories, but he tells them legends, instead, taking them on an adventure with each one.An exciting new author, John King Keller, shares four amazing, scary and entertaining legends in this book that kids of all ages will enjoy. These legends feature a haunted bridge, creepy floating lights, a strange kid with a hatchet, and an odd leprechaun. Each of these, possibly true, tales will thoroughly entertain you, but more importantly, you will walk away having learned important lessons about others and about yourself.
