There are 13 small stories in this book. I will tell you about one called "The Railroad" which is about a train that has Queen Victoria aboard and the train needs to go fast to get her somewhere. The train driver sees a man waving his arms on the rail tracks. The driver stops the train and gets out and finds that he has stopped just in time because he was about to cross a river, but because of heavy rain it is swollen and had caused the bridge to wash away. The train driver can't find the man anywhere either. Later the driver finds a giant moth on the headlights when he turns them on, its shadow looks like that of a man flapping his arms. This is based on a true story.
I wasn't really scared reading the book ... I just read it.

There are three people who live in the treehouse Andy, Terry and Jill. They have added more levels to the treehouse (another 13 storeys). They have created a 24 hour TV station for the latest news from the treehouse. They now have a pool, shark tank, an elephant fighting arena and an exploding eyeball area. But they realise they don't have a building permit for the extra levels so have to go back in time to get it. They accidently time travel but don't know how to do it properly and keep going right back until they go back to the stone age. They also can't work the time machine to get back.
Rated: 3.25/5 - "because it was good but could have been livelier (more interesting)."
