The cover and the authors. Seems like this is going to be a series as good as the famous spooky one.

5 stars
This series, Tales from Cabin 23 is by authors Justina Ireland (behind some of the Star Wars novels) and Hanna Alkaf (author of awesome middle-grade books such as The Girl and the Ghost and Hamra and the Jungle Memories). It is going to be awesome.
Justina Ireland writes the first one The Boo Hag Flex, southern vibes of something wicked attacking people in the night. After losing her mom to COVID Tasha moves in with her grandmother and tries to connect with a father she doesn't really want to know better.
Super fun episodes are perfect to introduce spooky (not too scary) and mystery novels to readers who are now leaving chapter books behind. It's short, easy to read, satisfying, relatable, and with awesome characters. I also loved to learn about haints, ghosts, and evil spirits from the old South. Book two is set in another location with other characters, awesome multicultural interests, and representation.
