About the author
Grace Hansen is the author of a series of illustrated nonfiction titles for young readers published by Abdo Kids and its imprints, including History's Spookiest Paranormal Events (Discoverroo, 2022) and Haunted Houses (Abdo Kids Jumbo, 2018). History's Spookiest Paranormal Events looks at three well-known ghost stories, among them accounts connected to the Gettysburg battlefield, alongside claims of reincarnation, presented in a narrative style with sidebars and supporting material aligned to educational standards. Haunted Houses explains, at a level suited to early readers, why haunted-house stories persist and why people enjoy being scared by them, again built to match curriculum guidelines. Hansen's books in this catalogue belong to the children's and educational nonfiction shelf rather than to adult occult or paranormal writing, aimed at classrooms and young readers being introduced to ghost lore and paranormal folklore for the first time.
