Bookroo's summary

As Hurricane Elmer rages outside, the Moody family braces for a night of darkness. But when the storm brings ghosts, squirrels, and aliens, Judy and Stink must turn fear into fun. With musical board games and s’mores, they transform a spooky night into a memorable adventure. Can they weather the storm with laughter and stories, or will the unexpected visitors change everything?

From the publisher

“A cozy, comfortable book for a rainy night.” – Kirkus Reviews The whole Moody family hunkers down with beans and batteries, ready to wait out a storm. But along with massive rain and strong winds that knock the lights O-U-T out, Hurricane Elmer throws down ghosts, squirrels, and aliens. Spooky! But musical board games, s’mores, and some good old-fashioned storytelling turn bad weather into a happy memory in Judy and Stink’s third full-color adventure.
