A Halloween chase through a neighborhood full of spooky creatures

On Halloween night, the How to Catch Kids encounter a witch whose magical portal has let spooky creatures loose around the neighborhood. Their plan to close it involves setting traps, giving the story a clear chase-and-capture framework tied to trick-or-treating and the holiday’s supernatural imagery. The description also identifies STEAM concepts as part of the book, alongside comic chaos. At 40 pages, this hardcover picture book centers on a self-contained Halloween adventure, with the portal and its escaped creatures connecting the witch-catching premise to the neighborhood setting.
