pickThis was a spooky middle grade novel about a girl who loves Halloween but when her parents decide she's too old to trick or treat, she sneaks out. Except she finds a barren neighborhood with creepy characters roaming the streets. She only has her best friend, her school bully, & her annoying neighbor to help fight the evil forces at work

Thank you so much @NovelGirl82 ! The perfect package for some cozy fall reading 🍂📚 These are all books I would have picked out for myself - the tagged book cover is gorgeous 😍 The VH book is set in Michigan 😊 These will all be in my reading stack for Dewey‘s readathon in October. I‘ll enjoy the goodies too! I haven‘t had the stroopwafels before - excited to try them! Thanks again - hope you have a good swap day!
pickI was never able to get into the Night Vale books (probably because I never listened to the podcast) but this is not a Night Vale book. It's a book about a young girl who loves Halloween almost as much as I do. It's creepy and fun, but not scary. And I can't wait to re-read it in October. 🙂

bailedI hate to bail on books, but I was bored and uninterested in this one. I liked the main character, Esther, who loves Halloween and is not ready to give up trick-or-treating, but I found the story dull overall. Also, some of the adults were a bit odd. #Screamathon
pickHow old is *too* old to go trick-or-treating? Fink turns that coming-of-age decision on its head, layering on all the things 13-year-olds grapple with: fear of change, new friendships, new loves, aging parents & a wily, unpredictable future. Storytelling at its best, with a relentless brave protagonist, her three sturdy friends, an evil antagonist & a quest, all rolled into a delicious Southern California setting during the best time of the year.
so-soA 13 year old, who loves Halloween and has been working on her costume for months, is told by her parents, the day before Halloween, that she is “too old” to trick or treat. And when she objects they accuse her of being a brat. This injustice filled me with rage. And the narrative spent more time empathizing with adult authority, then letting her express rage or frustration.
pickI really enjoyed this middle grade story which would make for a fantastic autumnal read. On the surface it‘s a story about a young girl who really loves Halloween and a Halloween when everything goes wrong…for reasons. Dig a little deeper and it‘s a story about growing up, belonging, acceptance, bullying, and friendship. With just the right about if creepiness and suspense, this is a great spooky read for the middle grade set. On sale 7/20/21.
My Sunday morning book is the most pitch perfect middle grade Halloween story. Love it so far and I‘m sure it will be a hit with young readers looking for something a little creepy when autumn rolls around. It‘s so spot on it feels a little weird to be reading it in the middle of summer—I think an October reread will be in order! (The book is out later this month.)
