Bookroo's summary

Hank the Cowdog embarks on a spine-chilling Halloween adventure when his timid sidekick, Drover, reports eerie sightings on Slim's porch. A witch, ghost, pirate, and skeletons whisper of 'Tricker Trees.' As Hank investigates, he plunges into a night filled with unexpected frights and mysterious happenings. Will Hank unravel the spooky mystery, or will the night hold more tricks than treats? Join Hank as he navigates this hair-raising escapade, where every shadow hides a new surprise.

From the publisher

When darkness falls, Drover reports that he has seen a witch, a ghost, a pirate, and two skeletons on Slim’s front porch. These terrifying creatures were saying something about “Tricker Trees.” Hank goes to verify this and the fun really starts.
