Facing up to and overcoming fears.

Our little girl heroine is scared of the noises coming from the basement of her house and imagines what might be making them. Her older brother does not share these fears or ideas. One day,she is obliged to go into the basement on her own despite thoughts of monsters and scary creatures. Facing her fears reveals the origins of the noises and her fears vanish.

A male voice narrates and sound effects add to the richness of the story experience. I would have given five stars if it had been a female voice narrating.

I received a free copy of this book and am leaving a review voluntarily.
