From New York Times best-selling adult author Joseph Fink comes a wickedly fun middle-grade novel about a Halloween-obsessed girl named Esther Gold, who goes out trick-or-treating for one last year, only to find her town under the thrall of a mysterious presence.

Esther Gold loves Halloween more than anything in the world. So she is determined to go trick-or-treating again this year despite the fact that her parents think she is officially too old. Esther has it all planned out, from her costume to her candy-collecting strategy. But when the night rolls around, something feels...off.

No one is answering their door. The moon is an unnatural shade of orange. Strange children wander the streets, wearing creepy costumes that might not be costumes at all. And it seems like the only people besides Esther who are awake to see it all are her best friend, her school bully, and her grown-up next-door neighbor.

Together, this unlikely crew must find a way to lift the curse that has been placed upon their small town before it’s too late. Because someone is out to make sure Halloween never comes to an end. And even Esther doesn’t want to be trapped in this night forever.

A young adult novel, I wish I had found when I was that age. I enjoyed the use of troops and unexpected twists. Daniel and Ed were brilliant realizations of legend. And in general and accurate portrayal of the difficulties of growing up. Thank you for this book.

Everything I expected from these wonderful creators!

This was such an entertaining escape. Joseph Fink has given us the gift of a Halloween tale that is a fun, coming of age story and celebration of all the next things of Halloween...

Really enjoyable Halloween celebration

beautifully written! The book is clearly meant for a younger audience and might be a great introduction to scarier stories, but it resonates with adults as well. It has a nostalgic feeling to it. Depending on your age, it might teach or remind you of how important (and inevitable) changing is.

Fun and exciting read, and it had me tearing up a little at the end. And Kevin R Free does the most wonderful voices! I may be an adult, but this reminded me of many of my old favorites from when I was Esther's age.

Ideal October reading

if you are a fan of Welcome to Night Vale, you'll enjoy both the writing and the performance. The narrator will definitely sound familiar...
If not, you'll still like this book. The story is fantastic, and great for all ages. The themes it tackles are universal. The book never dragged, and the characters were fun--especially the villains. The writing is very descriptive, and it's easy to picture what is going on at any given moment. I highly recommend this book!

Excellent Story and Performance
