A Christmas plan in Halloween Town

Megan Shepherd’s novelization brings the film’s holiday collision into prose: Jack Skellington, weary of Halloween Town’s yearly scares, discovers Christmas Town and returns with a plan to organize the holiday at home. The contrast between sparkling snow and Halloween’s familiar scares shapes the premise, while Zero and Sally help Jack and a looming danger complicates his ambitions. The book’s central tension is whether Jack’s vision of Christmas can work in a town built around Halloween. This edition is presented as a collectible novelization marking the film’s 30th anniversary.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in holiday fiction with a Halloween setting.
  • Fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas seeking a prose adaptation of the film.

Book overview

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of the holiday classic Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas with this stunning collectible novelization, adapted by New York Times bestselling author Megan Shepherd.

Jack Skellington is the beloved Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, but he has grown tired of leading the usual scares every year. Then he stumbles upon a mysterious tree-shaped door deep in the Hinterlands and falls straight into Christmas Town--an enchanting place like no other, full of sparkling snow, merry elves, and twinkling lights.

Reinvigorated, Jack returns to Halloween Town and recruits the citizens into his new plan: to organize Christmas themselves! But even with aid from his loyal dog Zero and the resourceful rag doll Sally, challenges lurk around every corner. Sally sees a terrible vision of Jack falling into danger, and the mysterious Oogie Boogie hides in the shadows. Will Jack's dream of creating the perfect Christmas come true . . . or is it destined to become an utter nightmare?
