Halloween Books

I loved the comics, so when I saw the book lying on a book-shelf I was intrigued. The story was well set-out and gave in additional information, that the comic didn't. The book displayed the starting of the whole teen-flick. The Infielder/Outfielder Haloween Party. Will has just moved into Heatherfield, with her mum, both of them tyring to escape the nasty divorce they had experienced in their previoius home. Will starts off at her new school- The Sheffield Institute, where she meets new girl Taranee, and four old girls- Cornelia, Irma, Hay-lin and Elyon. The school Haloween Party was that very-night, and Will- not wanting to go, slips out of school gloomy and depressed. After her mum forcing her to go, Will sets off to the party where all 6 girls- Will, Tarnaee, Irma, Cornelia, Elyon and Hay-lin have a magical, and some-what evil night where they discover there magic powers and have an amazing night to remember- and that they will, for the rest of their lives.

I realy liked this book!Will and Taranee are new at their school called Sheffield institute.On Will's first day of school she meets Taranee Cook.After school Cornelia asks Will and Taranee if they will be going to the halloween dance.Taranee and Will both said that they had forgotten.At the halloween dance that night Will,Irma,Taranee,Cornelia,Elyon and Haylin meet each other and become best friends.A fire brakes out,Taranee saves Will and Irma.Vathek and Cedric almost kill Will.The next day at school Will,Irma,Taranee,Cornelia and Haylin discover that almost all of except for Elyon them had the same dream.Elyon finnaly meets her dream date which turns out to be Cedric who will soon be one of the bad guys.At the restaurant that Haylin's grandma owns Haylins grandma comes out and tells the girls that they are the new five guardians of the veil.The veil is a seperation between earth and evil places like Metamoor and Meridian.There have become twelve holes in the veil called portals.If evil steps through a portal then earth would be doomed.The five guardians of the veil must keep that from happening.They also have to close the twelve portals that are in Heatherfield.Haylin's grandma also tells them that Will is keeper to the heart of Candracar.Irma has power over water,Taranee has fire,Cornelia is earth and Haylin deals with air.That night Elyon sets Will,Irma and Haylin up in the gym where they have there first fight against Vathek and Cedric.I loved this book.

This is an excellant book to read curled up in a comfy armchair, or in the car, or any-where else for that matter. There's a little bit of everything in it, mystery, magic, action, adventure, humour, horror, style and wit.
The format is part comic book, part novel, the enchanting opening takes place in the Heavenly realm of Candracar [also spelt Kandrakar by Americans who can't write the letter 'C'] an elsewhere with neither time nor space where the mysterious Oracle tells the Congregation that they must find a new group of Chosen Ones. We then have an image of the magical amulet known as the Heart of Candracar with an image of the main character, Will [much like Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer] in it. There is then a storm and Will wakes up in her car with a scream having had a bad dream. We have the comic relief of her having a brief conversation with her mother about the poor weather. The scene then changes from the cosy setting of Will's car in a traffic jam on the motorway to them arriving at their house unaware that they are being watched by two dark figures who plot Will's destruction. The scene then changes from this deliciously sinister opening to a bright morning in the city of Heatherfield where Will has moved with her mother [don't ask where her father is, it's a long story]. Will then goes to school and meets the delightful characters of Irma, Taranee, the brilliantly snobbish Cornelia and finally Hay Lin. To shorten a very long and complicated series of events, they discover they have magic powers and are chosen by the Heart of Candracar to become Guardians of the Veil, a celestial barrier that protects our world from the dark world of Metamoor. And it all leads to a climatic showdown in the gym and a spooky cliff-hangar ending.
I watched the TV series before I read the book but it lived up to expectations.

I really like the W.i.t.c.h. book series, but in some parts they sort of say mean things about some of the characters because they have messy hair, they have acne, or they are overweight, and in one part it wasn't really saying wearing glasses is a bad thing but it said "four-eyed Martin" or something like that, when Taranee actually wears glasses too. It's hard to believe that all six girls (Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, Hay Lin, and Elyon) all have perfect skin and hair and are all thin, which is really unrealistic since they're all in middle school.
Other than that, this is a good series about five girls who transform into the Guardians of the Veil and fight evil. I also recommend the Winx Club TV show and the books based on it. Some say that W.i.t.c.h. copied Winx Club or Winx Club copied W.i.t.c.h. but there are several diffrences. Really the only thing that's the same are that they transform and have wings, the red-haired girl is the leader, they're both from Europe, and they both start out with five girls. However, both series are a lot like anime and magical girl anime often has five main characters (like Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew). But in Winx Club they met Layla in season two, and Elyon in W.i.t.c.h. doesn't really count since she's not a Guardian. Anyway I recommend both series. I haven't seen very much of the W.i.t.c.h. tv show but what I saw was okay. I like the Winx Club TV show better because season 2 is a lot like anime.

This book is a great one to read with friends. It really shows how five girls who are totally different can come together to protect the world together and work together. This book will get you out spending more time with friends, and making new friends. I highly suggest this book to read with a friend and sharing it with friends.

The text had a mess of irritating typos, but the adventure was clear and crisp, the description and characterizations were good.
The idea of different parallel universes with possibly different physical laws works. This sort of adventure could be made into an alternate universe
"zievatronics" series. The political blindsiding in the physics world in the first part is a reality and probably worse since the cold war ended.
Bush's reinvention of war for the Military -Industrial complex hasn't improved the politics. In the future, as nice as the USA is to live in, there may be a brain drain to Europe where they fund new research?
Civilization may really be a matter of "practice"?

I love science fiction and I love to laugh.
Finding humorous sci-fi isn't easy, but this one is a gem. Interesting planet,
interesting inhabitants and a whole lot of fun.

This is one of my favorite David Brin books. One gets the impression that he just had this 'what if' idea and ran with it. It's really a great thought experiment more than anything else. I agree it's not like anything else he's written -- much lighter -- but very interesting nonetheless. Not sure if it should be considered science fiction or fantasy -- it really doesn't fit neatly into any category -- a little reminiscent of Ellison. But I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for some light fiction reading.

Don't read it if you are looking for hard sci-fi or if you are looking for work that is similar to Brin's other books. This one is a bit off the beaten path, and tends towards a fantasy book rather than sci-fi. But if your tastes are broad enough to enjoy a more light-hearted and playful romp through a delightfully different world, then you will enjoy this novel.

I found this novel to be a joy to read. Not an intense story, but one that brought back memories of Jandar of Callisto or John Carter. The story is somewhat stereotypical; there is the evil bad guy and the ruffian friends, and the princess to fall in love with. Of course, the hero uses his "advanced knowledge" and becomes known as a wizard. No hugo winner here, but just the same it was fun to read, and a good page turner.

If you are looking for something easy to read or just something pleasant, I would highly recommend The Practice Effect.

Just like Loeb/Sale's "Batman: Long Halloween" and "Batman: Dark Victory", "Batman: Haunted Knight" is another holiday themed graphic novel. It is a trio of short stories which are nothing short of amazing. In the first story, Scarecrow is prowling about Gotham on Halloween night. The second story is based around the Mad Hatter and his obsession with Lewis Carrol's "Alice and Wonderland". Finally, the third story is a batman christmas carrolesque story in which batman learns a life lesson from three spirits who take the form of people who have greatly influenced him throughout his years. ((Note: the final story is clearly meant to be like Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". At the beginning of the graphic novel it says "Ghosts based on a christmas carol"))
The artwork by Sale is amazing and as always, Loeb continues to prove he knows how to tell a great story.

The Scarecrow and Mad Hatter as real Batman villains, the way it should be! Not as filler characters as in other Halloween books like The Long Halloween and Dark Victory. Only problem is they are short stories since there are 3 stories in this book. The last story sucks so much as Bruce Wayne gets visited by spirits of his past a la A Christmas Carol.

This was the last of the three graphic novels by Sale/Loeb that I read (the other two being Dark Victory and The Long Halloween). It added no value and was not worth reading. The major plus is the art other than that I would skip this collection.

It's composed of three stories, the stories are nothing special. They seem like just another day in the dark knight's life.

This book consists of three stories. The first one, about Batman facing off against the Scarecrow, is by far the strongest of the three. The second one, about the Mad Hatter, is still pretty good. It's more about Bruce Wayne, and I was appreciative of the fact that they showed that Batman is human. The third one is the weakest of the trio. However, the strength of the former two storeies more than make up for the flaws of the latter. The artwork in all three stories was superb by the way.

This book is wonderful. If you are planning a party for Halloween or just a fun time for your family this book will give you great and simple ideas.

I found this book at my local library a few years ago. I loved it so much, I kept it until finding it on Amazon. The book has fantastic colorful pictures that get you in the spirit of Halloween no matter what time of year it is. It has fun craft ideas, spooky recipes and costume ideas for all ages.

Most of the crafts in this book are fairly easy for anyone to attempt,however you may find a few that require tools that you might not have unless you an avid Craftster.
She has a large chapter on Pumpkin carving/decorating that has ideas for children and adults. The book has a great deal of very unique Halloween crafts that are sure to impress and spook your friends and family.

As for the recipes,they aren't too difficult. I recommend "The Hot Spiced Concord - Grape Juice"(A new twist on spiced cider) "The Great Pumpkin Cake", "Ancient Eggs" and of course The Lady Finger's and Man toes. These recipes will be a hit at any Halloween gathering.

I haven't tired out any of the makeup/costume ideas yet,however they look fantastic and not very difficult. She has included the best Mummy makeup I have ever seen, and only requires everyday kitchen ingredients.
Even Martha appears as a few frightful characters with complete how to instructions (I had no idea she was the model in a few of the photos!)

You don't have to be a fan of Martha Stewart to enjoy this book. Its filled with tons of ideas for all ages. I seriously recommend this book to anyone that enjoys DIY holiday decorating and of course the Halloween food is ...to die for! This book is worth every cent, It has been my go to Halloween craft book since 2004 and I have no intention of finding another (unless it's an update)

Happy Haunting!

I ordered a lot of craft and cookbooks for halloween and this is one of my fave for sure!

Excellent ideas for Halloween decorating and parties....if you have the time. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time on my hands so I wasn't able to use the book for this past Halloween (2006). Hopefully, I'll have more time next year, or I'll start preparing ahead of time. The ideas are clever and original and I'd like to use them. The book is of great quality, thick paper. The photos and instructions are clear and not at all confusing.

I was hoping for sophisticated and stylish ideas for a halloween party. This was more like construction paper grade school crafts. I was very disapointed.

This collection is a keeper. I would never sell it if it goes out of print!

This compilation is practically guaranteed to delight the Halloween enthusiast. Some stories are creepy, some funny, some nostalgic. All in all, a remarkable celebration of what makes Halloween so much fun.

Good, long volume. I am a huge reader of short-fiction Horror. This anthology features a range of styles in the genre, from light to heavy. I read it a little at a time throughout the winter, and it helped prolong the magic of Halloween time. Minor complaint--a few of the authors' Halloween Memories are "phoned-in."

At a whopping 648 pages, this Halloween anthology offers more great stories than not and is versatile enough to keep even the most jaded reader turning those pages. Admittedly, I am a Halloween junkie. I'm the one who waits all year long for the month of October to arrive; I'm the one whose house is "the" Halloween house in town. Maybe I'm a little biased towards this book, but I don't think so though... If I were completely biased I would say that every single one of the 648 pages has something amazing on it. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Even though I gave the book as high a rating as you can give on here, there are still some clunkers buried in this tome. But the reason for the 5 star review is that when the stories are good, they're really good and there is far more to enjoy in this book than to dislike. Not only does the book offer up great, interesting stories but it also offers up various author's Halloween memories and a list of Halloween related movies and literature. Personally, I had a hard time putting the book down as my interest was more than held by stories like "The Black Pumpkin" by Dean Koontz (an author I don't usually like), "Lantern Marsh" by Poppy Z. Brite (a great kids in turmoil tale), "Boo" by Richard Laymon (one of the creepier stories in the book about who may be out there in the night trick or treating with you), "Pay the Ghost" by Tim Lebbon (a man's year long search for his missing daughter takes a supernatural twist), "Buckets" by F. Paul Wilson (perhaps the cleverest tale in the book about a ghostly downside to abortion), "Eyes" by Charles L. Grant (a heartbreaking story about a father's guilt over his mentally inferior son's accidental death). But the entertainment comes to a grinding halt with some of the book's lesser stories (some of which border on the unreadable): "Mask Game" by John Shirley (a mess of a story which should have been told in half the length), "A Redress for Andromeda" by Caitlin R. Kiernan (a tedious, H.P. Lovecraft-wannabe that makes you wonder if the author had spent less time trying to channel the difficult, unique spirit of Lovecraft and more time trying to be unique herself, would a better story have come out of this instead of a tired clone?), "Orchestra" by Stephen Mark Rainey (a story that, while well written, makes you wonder why its even included here since it essentially has nothing to do with Halloween) and "The Trick" by Ramsey Campbell (a confusing, uninteresting jumble of a story that is probably best left out of a largely American Halloween book). Overall, I highly recommend this book to horror and Halloween lovers alike. You can celebrate Halloween all year long by picking up this book on a nightly basis and immersing yourself in many of its great stories. The fact that Cemetery Dance doesn't play by the rules of the usual anthology and they actually give you more than just fiction makes OCTOBER DREAMS a book that stands on its own merits and one that deserves a read.

You need to buy this book if you are passionate about Halloween because just like It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, this is something you'll want to re-visit every October. I've had it for three years now and now it's become an October icon to me, just like pumpkins, dead leaves, candy corn, and those unmistakeable autumn scents. If I want to feel the Halloween spirit immediately, then I read this book outside while eating candy or drinking hot chocolate... it works every time (especially if I'm in a cemetery)!

October Dreams is over 600 pages and is filled with suspenseful short stories, fascinating essays, and charming collections of authors' favorite Halloween memories. A few of my favorite stories are "The Black Pumpkin" by Dean Koontz, "The Whitby Experience" by Simon Clark, "Boo" by Richard Laymon, "The Circle" by Lewis Shiner, and the twisted and grotesque "Pay the Ghost" by Tim Lebbon.

I bet that in Halloweentown, this is the book Jack Skellington reads most nights before going to bed.

Ideas with class, but practical. That's what I found in this delightful, pretty book. The materials recommended are, refreshingly, things I can actually get (and afford), right here in the isolated, imagination-starved desert of non-creativity where I live. It's so nice to see clearly written, well-conceived craft projects for Halloween that can really be done outside the major coastal metropolitan areas without paying for shipping and waiting six weeks for half the materials!

As far as the style, I grew up on Samantha and company, so it all has a "just right for a grown-up Halloween" feel to it for me. I grew out of gore years ago, but I still know that elegant does not have to equal stiff (as in some of Auntie Martha S's stuff ;->), and cheap doesn't have to equal tacky, if you just add a little personal talent of your own to spice it up. I already had the talent, now I have new ideas, with instructions, pictures, and even text that gently engages my own creative spirit! Lovin' this...

I went through a phase where I ordered a ton of Halloween books. It's my favorite holiday, after all, and I enjoy flipping through books on the topic year 'round. However, I've been disappointed in many of the books I've ordered. Some are too childish (fine if you're looking for projects to do w/ your kids -- I don't have any), some are too lame. This is not one of the disappointments -- it's a favorite.

The book's title is pretty accurate. It offers several themes for grown-up, but not gory, parties. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how many projects appealed to me: not entire themes, but several individual projects.

It's rare to find a book like this that isn't a digest of previously-published magazine articles. (The Martha Stewart book is the only one of this style that I like (I own several).) One of the most annoying things about Halloween books is buying one, then finding out that you've seen every suggestion in a magazine (and weren't all that impressed the first time). As far as I know, this is a "from scratch" book, meaning that the book is the only place you'll find these projects. I like it, because the projects are different from what I've seen in other Halloween Craft/Decorating books.

I agree with some other reviews that the plastic honey bear & "Aunt Jemima" lights are bit ... uhhhh, cheesey; however, there is tons of other stuff that is very classy and it has great photos and interesting tidbits. Despite a few cheesetastiks, it's still WELL WORTH the price and a must-have for any fan of HALLOWEEN!!!

After seeing how many 5 star reviews this book got I began to think there was something wrong with me. I didn't LOVE this book. One of the 1 star reviewers hit the nail on the head. There is just something about this book that I can't warm up to. The crafts were nice, different than most, but they were somewhat repetitive. Many, many pumpkin, squash, and gourd arrangements. There were a couple of other things interspersed, wreaths, figures, recipes. But mostly it was piles of pumpkins. And there was no joie de vive. Please excuse the French, but to say there was "no joy of life" in the book would sound a little stupid. Halloween is more a celebration of death. But most of the arrangements were dull.

The two sections that caught my eye were the 'Old-Fashioned Party Fans and Favors' in Chapter 7, and Chapter 8. I have a weakness for Halloween collectibles and retro designs. And Chapter 8 had good party advice, like sticking to a theme rather than jumping all around.

The authors are talented, and apparently have a feeling for the holiday, but I would like to see a little more fun, and a little less seriousness.

Although this book has one or two interesting projects, overall, it wasn't as wonderful as the other reviews cracked it up to be. I was unexpectedly dissapointed!

This is not a book of party ideas. It is a book for the turn-your-front-lawn-and basement-into-a-Halloween-horror-show-wonderland type. Level of difficulty and cost are extreme. There are no 'crafts' in this book, but rather advice on how to make amature-theatre quality props and special effects. I have some doubt whether all of these ideas are actually even workable.

However, if you are not the average casual Halloween person, and the neighbors are good sports, then this should be your bible!

I enjoyed the creativity in this book. If you have the time and the finances, you can create some really great stuff!

Anyone who ever wanted to decorate their yard or house while growing up, or those who are still growing up & want to decorate, this is the book for you!
The ideas outlined are simple & low tech, showcasing basic props and scares that even an old pro can fall back on.
Highly entertaining, filled with spectacularly drawn characatures this book is sure to show one & all the basics in haunting.
Happy Hauntings!

This book had many great ideas most of them fairly easy!!! It was written very well, and was fun just to read. Many of the ideas involve having actors involved just to jump out.

This book is hysterical! This author is so talented...not only does he write the book (and the ideas are tremendous), but he also illustrated the whole thing (and the pictures are little black and white cartoons that make you laugh out loud!). I would recommend this book to not only Halloween fans like myself (and such great ideas inside this book if you love to have fun with scaring the wits out of the older kids...no small ones, could be a father waiting in the wings), but to people who want a good laugh and some great ideas.
Wonderful book - A+!

Haloween the scream factory was an interesting horror thriller with good suspense, great deaths, good characters, and a bad ending. The book overall was good but I thought she at least could have ended it with him being caught, sent back to smith's grove, and in the next book make it the same characters from the first book come back in the second. I think that the other books ahead look really good though.

This was one of the best books i've read in a long time. It had real susepensful and scary moments. It is now out of print and VERY hard to find like the other books in the series!

Surprisingly this book is really good. Michael Myers is on the rampage in Haddonfield again (you'd think they would expect him every halloween now). He's on a random teenage killing spree during and including the lead up to the school prom. Obviously aimed at a teen audience, fans will still find themselves enjoying and reliving the terror of Michael Myers. (Except for all his growling - what's up with that?) Recommended!!!

This was a good book. Very suspenseful and gory at times. The characters were decent and the plot was believable. Being a huge fan of the "Halloween" movies, I enjoyed this book. I have only two major problems with the book. One, Michael Myers is a silent stalker. He doesn't GROWL or lunge. He comes at you from out of nowhere. You usually don't know it until it's too late. Lastly, he doesn't do cheesy things like write REVENGE on walls and he only is concerned with killing family members not innocent teens he doesn't know. Other than that it was a good read.

I read The Mad House before this and loved it. This book was a lot better than The Mad house. It is about 4 teenagers that throw a halloween party at the City Hall. Later that night Michael Myers starts the Halloween massacre. I recommend this book to anyone who loves horror movies or Michael Myers. It is better than the Eric Morse Friday the 13th series.

even though my son is eleven, he decided to read this book with me and to add his own review:

"personally, it was a very good book. I would have liked it even better when I was younger. I liked the funny "Sir" names, the pictures were very well done, and the story was cute and not scary."

I agree with Colin's review-it was a cute story and a welcome addition to the younger sets Halloween as well as "fantasy creatures" books available. recommended-4 stars.

I received this book and read it to my 3 years old little boy on the very first Knight (sorry, I couldn't resist). He absolutely loved it and was more interested in counting the knights on each page than he was in the actual story. He loved the illustrations on each and every page.

Keep in mind that this review is written in Sept. and although Halloween is far off it seems to be the only thing he has on his mind as of late. This book definately fed his desire for the "spooky" even if from the perspective of the 3 years old.

I've always been fascinated with the subject of "What's lurking in the dark?" myself so it comes as no suprise that my offspring would follow in my footsteps. This book is great for children under 5 years of age. I wouldn't recommend going any older than that. You as parents know your children better than I do developmentally so the choice lies with you.

Boogie Knights is a delightful book of rhymes and clever wordplay. It is a counting book that follows the escapades of seven knights in armor as they unbend enough to join a madcap party.

The pictures of done in sepia, brown and black with figures capering delightfully across the page. It is just the thing for Halloween season reading as the story is filled with witches, ghosts, goblins and banshees.

My five year old really like the rhymes and the silly pictures. I especially like the clever word play. Each knight has a descriptive name such as Sir Veillance (he over hears the party going on) and Sir Loin (he cries out "our honor is at stake!").

Fun book which I recommend for younger kids.

This is a beautiful hardcover book with wonderful illustrations and a fun story. I enjoyed reading it and I will share this with my nieces now that I know it's 'ok'.

This book is like many of the stories that my nieces have. It's fun, interesting, and it has great pictures. It's a story about knights coming out to dance at the yearly Madcap Monster Ball. Slightly spooky, it's perfect for a cozy evening read in the cool weather with my nieces and some hot chocolate.

This is a cute picture book with nice rhyming & rythm. I enjoyed the illustrations (as did my son). I suppose it could be creepy to some young children,( lots of ghosties & monsters), however my 5 yr old loves it & I have read it to him so many times ,I almost have it memorized.( it IS fun to read out loud)

I will start with the positive: The CD reading is great. Mr.Reiner asking whether he should read on is really cute and engaging. My 4 year old son loved it. The illustrations are great.
That being said...There are more than enough scary halloween stories that don't deal with young children being tempted into a creepy mans basement. After each page I kept saing things like "now if a creepy neighbor invites you somewhere do you go? " I think the one thing that would have made the book better is if the neighbor wasn't a person and was maybe a goblin.
I would suggest borrowing this from the library so you can preview before buying it and maybe an older age range would suit the book.

My son got this book for his 4th birthday. We had to read it about 20 times that week. He is 6 now and this is still his favorite book! I read it to a group of kids at a halloween party and they loved it too!

My name is Jorge F. and I am 8 years old .My English teacher read this book to us in class and I thought it was scary . My favorite part was when the boy was scared. I recommend this book for my friends . I also like this book by Mo Willems: The pigeon Finds a Hot Dog . I hope you feel happy when you read this book.

Wouldn't you just know that Carl Reiner would create a funny scary book? When the title says, "Tell Me a Scary Story...But Not Too Scary!," you know you are in for some scary fun!

How scary? Look at the figures making up the words "Scary Story." My goodness, but what an imagination from illustrator James Bennett! Now look at the little girl in the lower left hand corner. Look at that face--if she gets any more scared, we will have to rescue her. Come on. Let's go inside...

Immediately Carl Reiner tells the little girl (his grand-daughter?): "...but if it gets too scary for you, just say, 'Stop reading!' and I'll stop..." A guarantee that she will not stop! He repeats these words throughout the story with the same result.

Carl begins the story when he was a boy and a new neighbor moved in, Mr. Neewollah, who had a mysterious, crooked smile. Then Carl asks the little girl if the story is too scary. Of course, she wants him to continue.

One day when Mr. Neewollah was moving boxes into his house, a large, shiny object fell out and bounced to Carl's feet. He picked it up to discover it was an eyeball! He knew he must return it, so that night he went to Mr. Neewollah's house and found a light in the basement and saw something creepy. He leaned too far against the window and he fell in!

Suddenly, there is Mr. Neewollah demanding to know why this boy is in his house. Little Carl extends his arm, proffering the eyeball. The look on that boy's face is worth the price of the book--brave, frightened, determined. Cut back to the little girl listening to the story. Her look, too, is worth the price of the book.

The scariness escalates. I won't share these (because, I confess, I found myself a little frightened).

Carl Reiner certainly has a winner with this 2003 book. Only recently did I become aware of it when the second grade teacher shared it with me (the librarian). I immediately ordered the book so I will have it in time for Halloween story time. To go along with the eyeballs in the story, I will pass out "Body Parts" candies. One of the most fun things for a child is to be scared in a safe setting. Wild and scary with a surprise ending--that's what they will get with this wonderfully frightening book!

My name is Delimar and I am 8 years old . My English teacher read this book to us in class and I thought this story is scary. My favorite part is when the boy was spying on the old man. I also like this book by William Steig: Doctor de Soto. I hope you like this book.
