Midnight Magic- Question 3

Read the following comments from an internet post Avi wrote about his inspiration to write the book. Once you have read the statement, answer the questions that follow. Be sure to use evidence from the text to support your answer.

I know where the setting for this book entered my imagination—Naples, Italy, which I once visited. But the book came about because I wanted to write a scary book that wasn’t really scary, a ghost story, that may or may not have ghosts, and a tale of magic, that might, or might not have magic.

Do you agree with Avi's statement that he wrote a ghost story that wasn't really scary? What about his statement that he wrote a tale of magic that might or might not have had any magic? Additionally, Avi wrote a prequel (a book about previous events) to Midnight Magic called Murder at Midnight. Would you read the prequel?
