Phantom Fear

THE PHANTOM THIEF
The first time Alfie sees the boy, he appears as if from nowhere in the school detention room - the ''padded cell''. There''s something odd about him and Alfie is definitely not pleased when he realizes the boy has nicked his new jacket. But a ghost? That''s what his new friend Sarah thinks - and she''s so convinced she''s prepared to ghost-watch with him.

That''s when the warning message appears, scratched out on the blackboard by a phantom hand....

MY FRIEND''S A WEREWOLF
Kelly always thought werewolves only existed in stories and late-night films. Until Simon moves in next door. Could that be hair beginning to sprout on his face? Why does he wear black gloves all the time - even to school? Last, but definitely not least, there''s the howling at night . . . Aren''t werewolves . . . dangerous?
