Delightful for children.

Fun tale to appeal to kids. The scare level is age appropriate and the characters and choices are fun.
Cute children's story
February 6, 2026
It’s hard to rate a story for children, but imagining myself as a kid, I think I would enjoy it. I liked that the story included elements where the narrator directly interacted with the listener, asking them if they were brave in the beginning to prepare them for the scary elements or agreeing with their choices.
The relationship between Penny and her parents was portrayed nicely, and I liked that the adults could see and hear the ghost, too, so Penny wasn’t alone in it.
Their way of making the ghost to stop scaring them was pretty fun, and the ending was heartwarming.
A good story for children

I listened to this story on a heavy day, and even though it’s a horror story, it’s clearly aimed at children, so it’s more of a gentle, not-too-scary kind of horror. I stayed for the story, and it was a really enjoyable listen. I liked the voice actress; her narration was clear and easy to follow. Overall, it’s definitely a great story for young children.

Nice story for children.

I found the story very nice and cute and very well suited for children. But I still think it would benefit from more flavored choices and divers endings.
