Spoops: The Little Spirits of Halloween - Hardcover
by A. J. Locascio (Author), Laurie Conley (Illustrator)
Discover the whimsical magic behind Halloween in this timeless new illustrated fable for the whole family!
Who changes the leaves? Summons the autumn winds? Wakes ghosts and spirits to haunt houses and chill the air? Why, Spoops, of course! They hatch from the smallest gourds in your local pumpkin patch at the start of every fall, then tend to your town to ensure everything is just right for Halloween. In this story, young Holly Hollowell loves Halloween more than anything, but her dentist parents are totally against any event that promotes tooth-rotting sweets. While other kids trick-or-treat, Holly watches sadly from her window...until the Spoops arrive to turn things around! With their magical help, Holly can finally show her parents the true spirit of Halloween: not the candy, but the joy of expressing yourself, unleashing your imagination, and letting your spooky side soar! Presented in rhyming verse that recalls Dr. Seuss and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," along with nostalgic illustrations in black, white, and orange, Spoops is an instantly timeless classic that places Halloween right alongside other beloved holidays. It's a clever trick and a lovable treat that the whole family will treasure.Author Biography
