Scissor Man 

The story goes that the Scissor Man wanted to be happy forever, so he snipped the corners of his mouth into a wide, jagged smile. Now he’s a ghost who haunts Sam’s school. If you meet him you must answer his question. Your fate depends on your answer. But its just a story, right? Papercuts is an eerie and haunting series written to appeal to readers aged 13+ who might be intimidated by full-length novels, or are simply just looking for a quick read. These sinister titles have a reading age of 8-9 and an accessible word count of 5000-6000. Written by respected and accomplished authors, they are packed with horror and elements of the supernatural. But be warned, they’re not for the faint-hearted!
