Bookroo's summary

In the Halloween-obsessed town of Pearl, Mason is the only one who remembers the kids who vanish every October 31st. When his sister Meg disappears, Mason and his friends enter a monstrous underworld to confront the witch holding her captive. As shadows of death loom, Mason must summon all his courage to break the curse and save Meg, or risk being haunted by her memory forever. Can he unravel the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

Perfect for fans of Hocus Pocus and Stranger Things, this middle grade debut tells the story of a boy who travels into an alternate version of his Halloween-obsessed town to save his sister from an evil witch and free the town from the witch’s curse. Fear comes home. Welcome to Pearl, a town obsessed with Halloween: the spooky decorations, the costumes, the candy. No one seems to notice that every October 31st, a kid goes missing. Mason Miller does, though. Somehow he’s the only one who has any memory the person existed at all. When Mason’s sister, Meg, vanishes while they’re trick-or-treating, Mason and his friends are pulled into an underworld where monsters roam the streets. They need to fight the evil taking over Pearl, but none of them know the true danger they’re facing. Meg has been stolen by a witch who has no plans to let her go. Shadows of death curl around trees and behind doorways as Mason must use every ounce of bravery he has . . . or be haunted forever with the memory of a sister that only he remembers.
