Bookroo's summary

On Halloween night, a brave young witch sets out to teach her little sister about humans and their peculiar love for candy. But when the little Witchling finds candy irresistible, chaos ensues, and the older sister ends up stuck in a tree. With courage and a touch of magic, the little Witchling must save the day. Will she prove that even the smallest witch can be the bravest? Discover a delightful tale of sisterhood and adventure in this not-so-scary Halloween story.

From the publisher

A young witch’s sweet tooth leads to Halloween mischief in this companion to the New York Times bestselling A Very Brave Witch, which School Library Journal called “a humorous, not-scary-at-all read-aloud.”

It’s Halloween night, and one very brave witch has decided to teach her little sister all about humans and what they enjoy, including some yucky stuff called “candy.” But when it seems the little Witchling thinks candy is yum, her big sister flies off to set her straight—and then she gets stuck in a tree! Good thing the little Witchling isn’t afraid to be brave!

This “not-scary-at-all read aloud” (School Library Journal) for Halloween perfectly pairs with A Very Brave Witch.
