Bookroo's summary

On a magical Halloween night, a group of trick-or-treaters encounters a real skeleton. As they try to escape, they wonder if this bony figure is truly a threat or just lonely. Could this skeleton be searching for a friend instead of causing fright? With whimsical illustrations and playful rhymes, discover if this encounter is a trick or a treat. Will the children uncover the skeleton's true intentions, or will fear get the best of them? Dive into this enchanting tale to find out!

From the publisher

Skeletons might seem frightening, but if you look closer, there’s nothing much to fear. They can’t run fast, they’re terrible at hide-and-seek, and they’re scared of everything. When a group of trick-or-treaters runs into an actual skeleton on an enchanted Halloween night, they do whatever they can get away. But what does the skeleton really want? What if they’re just looking for a friend? With distinctive, quirky illustrations and humorous rhyming text, this book invites you to find out whether this bag of bones is a trick or a treat!
