John Irving's A Sound Like Someone Trying Not To Make A Sound (0385746-806, $15.95) receives lovely embellishment by Tatjana Hauptmann as it tells of a young boy who awakens in them iddle of the night where an unfamiliar sound makes him afraid. Nighttime fears are explored in a set of vivid images many a youngster will certainly be familiar with. Jarrett J. Krosoczka's Annie Was Warned (0375815678, $15.95) tells of a young girl warned to stay away from a creepy mansion. Does she listen? She is warned, but too curious about what specific dangers might exist to stay away. A creepy adventure kids will relish.
