Samantha's Portmanteau Tale - Paperback

At age seven, Samantha mistakenly watched a horror movie past her curfew. Fearing that the ghost from the movie might come to harm her, she asked to sleep by her mom for the rest of the night under the pretense that she had a bad dream. But for the next few nights, Samantha has to lie about different but valid reasons why she cannot sleep alone in her room because she fears she might get a punishment if she told her mom the real reason. Samantha's mother finally found out the cause of her night terrors and what her mother did next to help her conquer her fears was incredible. Samantha is twelve years old now and was asked by a member of her school's fright intervention program. Instead of teaching one life lesson, she tells an amazing story from beginning to end that included many other life lessons to her audience. For all ages, this incredible story is meant to help children who are afraid of ghost, monsters, and other imaginary creatures while also teaching them strong moral values and how to have respect for their parents and others. It also gives parents some knowledge on how to help their children get rid of their fears.
