Top Ten Tuesday: Plot Twists & Unreliable Narrators

With a number of other book lists on my blog featuring all things Halloween, I decided to take a different route today! Plus, as I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge scaredy-cat, so my knowledge of scary Halloween-y books is at a minimum. I’ve got lists about ghosts, witches, bats, monsters, and general Halloween picture books.

I started off searching for middle grade titles with unexpected plot twists, which lead me down the rabbit hole that also include unreliable narrators. I decided that I’d expand my search to picture books and YA novels. In both age groups, there are some really great books that include both plot twists and unreliable narrators. Do any of these books have anything to do with Halloween? Not at all, but they’re great stories!
