From the Publisher

Amid the excitement and spookiness of a Halloween party, Jonathan discovers bravery he didn't know he had. A perfect mix of Halloween eeriness and age-appropriate gentleness, with a jubilant ending makes this First Choice Chapter Book a perfect holiday book for beginning readers.

Beginning readers will appreciate the short simple sentences, the repetition of vocabulary, and the heavy use of dialogue. The straightforward story is enhanced by Durrell's colorful, detailed illustrations that add humor throughout. Spiders, bats, cobwebs, candy corn, shaped balloons, and other decorations add sparkle to each page, and the cover illustration will grab readers––Mary Ann Bursk, Bucks County Free Library, Levittown, PA
