Sharing space—and a broom—on Halloween

Witchy sisters Mathilda and Malin have sharply different ideas about how their shared room should look: one prefers bright and airy, the other dark and scary. Their decorating dispute ends with a broken broom, putting the question of compromise at the heart of this Halloween story. The rhyming text frames sibling rivalry through a comic household disagreement, with the sisters facing a practical reason to reconsider how they share their space. Halloween supplies the setting, while the conflict centers on differing preferences and finding common ground.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in Halloween-themed fiction.
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about siblings, disagreements, and compromise.
  • Families or educators seeking a rhyming read-aloud.
