Two pixies are double trouble for Violet, Leon, and their fairy friend Sprite; they have to find a way to trick Bogey Bill, a goblin who loves Halloween and scaring people, and Buttercup who has cast a spell on the whole school that has all the children hiccuping uncontrollably--and with the help of a good fairy named Robert B. Gnome they come up with a way to deal with both at once.

Violet Briggs helps Sprite, the Pixie Tricker, to capture Fixit, a disgruntled elf who is unhappy because children do not appreciate his efforts to maintain their toys, and Rusella, a message gremlin who likes to mix up telephone calls.

There are plenty of chills in this compilation of four separately published books of scary stories: The stranger on the stairs, The doll that waved goodbye, The voice in the boys' room, and The phantom on the phone.

Logan is disturbed by a mysterious mumbling voice in the boys' room, but when he finds a cell phone floating in the toilet, and reaches in to retrieve it he is caught in a trap--and that is only one of the chilling stories in this collection.

Six-year-old Brandon hates to go up the stairs to bed because there is always a man sitting there, a man only he can see, but tonight he closes his eyes and makes the climb with his mother watching, and then he hears his mother scream--and that is only one of the stories in this collection about all-too-real fears.

One morning Ella gets an odd text message from a friend, about a strange girl who is showing up in Ella's selfies, and as the messages keep coming the girl with a monkey head keeps getting closer and closer--and that is only one of the chilling tales in this collection of scary stories.
