In this “inspiring…delightful” (
School Library Journal
, starred review) picture book offering a twist on the trick-or-treat trope, a feisty little girl has had enough of her parents picking cutesy Halloween costumes for her—this year, a witch!
A little girl has been every adorable thing you can imagine for Halloween, and she is
done
with being cuddly, sweet, and precious. This year, she’s rebelling big-time and going for a totally different vibe: the spookiest thing out there. She’s going to be…
a witch!
With only a little help from Dad, she works hard on her witchy locks, brew, spells and enchantments, and power to
petrify
. But what happens when what she sees in the mirror is
so
spooky, she scares even herself? Nothing that an understanding dad—and maybe a quick restorative nap—can’t handle.
