I'm counting this for points, but unfortunately that won't work for that category as it's trick or treat in the title not text.

Andrea, when I was on a computer I looked it up on Amazon and it said “candy” was on one page but my book I have on scribd can’t find the word. So when I can access a computer again I’ll see what happened. I know it doesn’t have Halloween or October either. I’ll fix it/change it or remove it when I can. Sorry about that. I didn’t see anyone having “how it fits” so I didn’t realize I had to have the sentence & page but I should have realized it!
