A Halloween mask unleashes mischief

Halloween is the backdrop for a supernatural troublemaking spree in this middle-grade novel. After thirteen-year-old Syd is discouraged from celebrating by teasing about her costume, her friend Jake persuades her to visit a haunted house. A strange mask he finds at an estate sale leads him to claim he is the Spirit of Mischief, while costumed figures and decorations begin coming to life around town. Syd must draw on her enthusiasm for Halloween to try to stop the chaos before anyone is hurt. The publisher describes the book as a short novel with high-interest content and a lower reading level for middle-grade readers building their skills.

Book overview

Halloween is thirteen-year-old Syd's favorite night of the year, but when she gets teased by older kids about her costume, she decides to sit this one out.

But then her friend Jake finds a strange mask in a box of estate-sale junk to wear for his costume and manages to convince Syd to go to a haunted house. When Jake puts on the mask, he starts acting strangely, claiming to be "the Spirit of Mischief", and soon he's causing trouble all over town. With Halloween revellers transforming into werewolves, pirates, alligators--real-life versions of their costumes--and Halloween decorations coming alive and roaming the streets, Syd needs to embrace her love of Halloween to find a way to defeat Mischief before someone gets hurt.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading-level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read! The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
