Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A quick and fun story- perfect to get in the Halloween spirit. It's not particularly scary though so if you're looking for something of that nature you might want to find something else. ( ) This is a short little Halloween tale that was easy to read and engaging but I would say definitely not for children. The events center around 2 children helping a Halloween display but they are not childish in nature. Bad things have happened to these children. They are both likable kids who have managed to retain something of their childhood sense of wonder despite what the world has done to them. The story involves an old folktale and a beast that only comes on Halloween. While I would call it a horror story, I don't think it will scare you. I think it will interest and intrigue you. It's a well-written short story that I very much enjoyed. no reviews | add a review
Every Halloween, Charles Keenan's farmhouse, dubbed as the Pumpkin House, is the main attraction for at least fifty miles in every direction. Mr. Keenan decorates his front yard with hundreds upon hundreds of jack-o'-lanterns in order to protect the good souls of Smith's Grove from a monster known as Old Notch-foot. Ronnie Lancaster volunteers at the Pumpkin House to escape from his own monster at home, his mother's boyfriend Rick. While volunteering, he meets a girl named Sarah Bowen, who still carries the haunting memories of a monster from her own past. As Halloween night approaches, friendships are formed, secrets are revealed, and the physical abuse Ronnie's mother endures from Rick comes to a head. Now, Ronnie must decide whether the legend of Old Notch-foot is true. No library descriptions found. |
