The legend of the ghostly Bloody Mary involves seeing a woman's bloody image appear in the mirror. But where does this eerie legend originate? Some say she is the spirit of Queen Mary I of England. Queen Mary I wanted England to embrace Catholicism, and her bloody persecution of Protestants led to her nickname, "Bloody Mary." No matter its origin, this spooky story has haunted people around the world for centuries.

      Gr 3-8-Titles highlight ghostly encounters; two describe hauntings that befell actual families. Clear, punchy, occasionally gory prose engages, yet the overall tone is non-sensational. Eye-catching covers and weird visuals enhance the spooky appeal. "Skeptic's Note" sidebars offer possible explanations or alternate viewpoints. Other sidebars, some labeled "Fact," some elaborately framed, include definitions, probing questions, or additional information. Readers learn some ghost stories may be related to or are versions of historical legends and correspond to stories known internationally, emphasizing the tales' universality. Caution: Bloody Mary and La Llorona may be too dark/intense for the very young or very sensitive; they're recommended for older students. VERDICT Engrossing for ghost story and "history mysteries" fans in public and school libraries. In journalism or creative writing units, students can write news stories about or interviews with haunted individuals.
