My daughter was shown this story in school earlier in the year and the creepy images triggered anxiety/phobia in her. 6 months later she still tells us every day that she is scared to go to school out of fear of seeing another creepy story. I have seen other reviews where children have had similar issues due to this story, so I would say it is definitely not worth the risk, and please do not get this book for your child, and do not get them to watch the YouTube readings of it either.
