No one chooses to be scared by a ghost on Halloween night. Or do they?
Finn is certain the cornfield on his street is haunted. Botts, his best friend, thinks Finn is a little paranoid. But strange things have happened every October on Halloween night. When Halloween arrives, someone dressed in a black cape steals kids’ sacks of candy. Finn realizes he must do the unthinkable to catch the thief. He must enter the cornfield and experience his worst fear. Join Finn, Botts, and Tess in their search for the stolen candy and the thief’s true identity.
Received in a giveaway from goodreads, This was a super cute kids Halloween mystery/ghost story! Kids enjoyed it and the dog buiscuit idea was unique!!
I thought this story was all over the place and the cornfield was almost an after thought. In addition, the author missed on the opportunity for teachers to intervene with clear bullying. Finally, I found it inappropriate for the characters to expect the principal to then intervene with a theft that was occurring off school grounds and outside the school day hours. This inconsistency reeks of hypocracy.
We really disliked the fact that there were so many characters named in the beginning of the book that added nothing to the story. Also disliked the lack of teacher involvement during the bullying parts. The kids were pretty disappointed when we read this one together.
