The Haunted Playground

The Haunted Playground
By Shaun Tan
 
I'm a big fan of Shaun Tan's books and artwork (I was excited to find out we were actually born the same year!) so after reading Tales from Outer Suburbia, I thought I'd check out this other little book I found, also by Tan.  It's an easier read, a short and spooky ghost story which takes place in a giant playground.  Gavin, who starts off hunting for lost coins and jewelry in the sand with his new metal detector, ends up discovering something else entirely...and the "ghost" children who hang out at night in the playground decide they want him to stay and play with them--forever!
