Bookroo's summary

Separated from his brothers on Halloween, a jittery boy finds himself alone on Monster Street. As lightning flashes and bats swoop, his imagination runs wild. Relieved to meet another trick-or-treater, his comfort turns to terror when the mask comes off. Can he conquer his fears with the help of unexpected, fiendish friends? Discover the twists and turns as he navigates a night filled with spooky surprises.

From the publisher

When a jittery, jumpy kid is separated from his older brothers on Halloween night and finds himself alone on Monster Street, he fears the worst!

The boy’s dread of things that go bump in the night fills his head with monstrous thoughts. Lightning flashes. Bats flap overhead. Doors squeak open. Hairy arms and tentacles drop spiders into his sack. The boy is relieved when he finally meets up with another trick-or-treater. That is, until his new friend removes his mask…

Illustrator Matt Faulkner’s ghoulishly entertaining illustrations capture the playful mood of Danny Schnitzlein’s clever verse. Children will love the surprising twists and turns of the plot, especially how the young hero conquers his fears…with a little help from his new fiendish friends.
