No Trick-Or-Treating!, Volume 9: Superscary Superspecial by P.J. Night
4.0
Ashley and her parents move to a rural town called Heaton Corners. Getting used to the countryside after living in the city is strange at first but she soon makes friends who help her settle in at school. Halloween is fast approaching and as Ashley starts to make party plans she finds out that Heaton Corners doesn't do trick or treating! Adamant that she get to enjoy the holiday she goes ahead anyway... and finds out the reason why!
This was a super cute and spooky read, perfect for the Halloween season. Ashley was likeable and relatable; the story was well-written and well-paced. This is aimed at 8-12 year olds but it never felt like the author was dumbing anything down for a young audience. The direction the story took and the ending (no spoilers!) was really interesting and really quite dark, especially for a 'kids' book. I would recommend adding this one to your Halloween TBR!
