Book cover: "The Ghost Parade" (A Judy Bolton Mystery)

On the heels of the big post earlier this month about Margaret Sutton and her Judy Bolton series, here's the cover of a second volume in the series that I picked up at the York Emporium over the summer. This is #5 — 1933's The Ghost Parade. It involves summer camp, counterfeiters and possibly cursed Native American masks.

The Ghost Parade has a pretty spooky cover for a juvenile-fiction detective tale aimed at girls, and is thus perfectly suited for Mild Fear 2018.

(It reminds me a bit of a 1944's Lost Worlds by Clark Ashton Smith, but it predates that book by more than a decade!)

Little girl to her father at Target: “Daddy I really wanna see the creepy stuff.”

Dad: “Why do you wanna see THAT stuff?”

Girl: “‘Cause I’m a creepy girl.”

And the Dad just made a face and did not take her to see the Halloween stuff, that Dad sucks, don’t be that Dad, the end.
