I enjoyed every second of this book! It takes place right after the movie and I couldn’t have been more giddy to get into a book. I loved that we got learn more about Halloween town and all of the other holidays. I enjoyed every second of learning more about sally and her own background and feelings. The story was sweet and just the same feeling you would get from the first movie. I would love to see this story one day on the big screen.

I love nightmare before christmas so much, but this wasn't really it for me. There were some aspects of it that i enjoyed but it just wasn't for me.

The story seeming okay but the writing style and over explaining on everything, I just couldn’t get into it.

Just absolutely fabulous. I too, like the author, fell head first into Halloween Town and watched Tim Burton's masterpiece countless times growing up. This book really feels like the perfect vibe. I would love to see more stories told in this universe. Sally and Jack 4ever

This was such a cute read. I love The Nightmare Before Christmas & this was a cute look into their world that picks up after the ending of the movie. I would love for this to be made into a movie. It was very interesting & I love the focus on Sally.

Very cute! I wasn't a big Nightmare before Christmas kid but this expands a lot from the original film, particularly in fleshing out the character of Sally.
Wasn't the biggest fan of the Elizabeth 2 scene but whatcha gonna do about a novel that deals with the theme of "heavy is the head that wears the crown" and real life?
