The latest review on Spooky Twisties III - from Laura Thomas' website fuonlyknew kids korner: http://fuonlyknew.com/2019/03/13/the-kids-korner-35-spooky-twisties-iii/
"Having read and enjoyed the first two books in the series, I was expecting more spooky fun as I ventured once more into a town of supernatural occurrences with a group of stalwart friends.
Terri had a great idea when she interconnected the stories in her books. The tales are all different, but the outcome and events leading up to them are intertwined throughout.
I prowled the library when I was young, looking for books like this. I still do as an adult and get just as much hair raising enjoyment out of them.
Terri brings on the eerie without being too scary and surprises you around every corner. These tales are spooky twistie indeed and a whole lot of fun."

A nice 5 Star Review on Spooky Twisties II recently received Dec 12, 2018

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary, fun reads no matter what your age!
Take a trip back in time to your childhood or pick up the perfect read for your kids or grandkids with the Spooky Twisties series. Her short, snappy, well-written fiction is for the young and young at heart.
What I've enjoyed about Spooky Twisties II are reliving some of my own preteen memories. Stuff like, your first crush, the first time you could go to a carnival with your friends sans parents, wishing for a magic set that actually worked, babysitting a "scary" kid (what if he were a vampire?), trading places with an older sibling if you had one (this story is hilarious), finding a way to ace all of your homework and tests with the help of some divine intervention, visiting a psychic like Madame Herlet to deal with a friend at school who manages to get you in trouble, and then there's the talking dog. I'm still hoping that one can come true.
All of the short tales feature the same group of kids and have elements of supernatural and paranormal forces that Terri brings to life in a realistic way. There are morals to some of the stories, and they're all good, scary, fun!
