Story follows Albert, who is kind of a know-it-all. He thinks he knows exactly what his friends are dressing up as, he scorns them, and belittles them. When he goes to the party, he can't figure out who is who. Turns out, he went to the wrong party.

A boy who thinks he can’t be scared is invited to a spooky Halloween party and scoffs at the idea of being scared. He confidently goes to the party but something is off and he can’t identify what it is, then a surprise revelation and the party gets even scarier for him.

Great for what it is. Definitely for the age suggestion

[Autumn Lynch]
