Boo to You!
Lois Ehlert
Ages 3–7
$19.99
The harvest garden is bursting with delicious vegetables, the pumpkins are decorated and lit, and the mice have their costumes ready. Everyone is looking forward to the annual Halloween-night feast. Scary Cat wasn’t invited to the party, but he seems to think he’s coming anyway.
Can You Make a Scary Face?
Jan Thomas
Ages 3–5
$16.99
What kind of a face would you make if a tickly green bug were sitting on your nose?

Could you make a scary face to frighten it away? Or, even better, stand up and do the chicken dance? Yes?
Truckery Rhymes
Jon Scieszka
Ages 3–8
$19.99
For generations, Trucks have been sharing these beloved tales, rowdy rhymes, and honk-along songs. Finally these classics have been gathered into one big, noisy, high-octane collection! All the favorite truckery rhymes are here — from “Peter Peter Payload Eater” to “Little Dan Dumper”…all the way to “Pop! Blows the Diesel.”
The Joy of Spooking: Fiendish Deeds
Book One
P.J. Bracegirdle
Ages 8–12
$7.99
Eleven-year-old Joy Wells is a literary horror fan and proud resident of Spooking, the run-down, eerie town at the top of the hill. At the bottom of the hill is Darlington, a plastic suburban ‘paradise’ where Joy and her brother go to school.
The Islands of the Blessed
Nancy Farmer
Ages 10–14
$22.99
Foolish boy, whispers the cobwebby voice of the hogboon. You force me to slay you.
