Reach for this book when your child is starting to explore spookier stories but still needs a narrative rooted in bravery and friendship. It is an ideal bridge for the transition from simple picture books to atmospheric chapter books, especially for children who feel like outsiders or are facing a big life change like a move. Stanley Buggles has inherited a mysterious house from his great-uncle, and his arrival at Candlestick Hall plunges him into a world of headless ghosts and greedy pirates. While the gothic tone feels eerie, the core of the story is about Stanley finding his footing in a strange new world. Parents will appreciate the sophisticated vocabulary and the way it models courage in the face of the unknown. It is perfectly suited for kids aged 7 to 11 who enjoy a thrill but still want a triumphant ending.
