Bookroo's summary

Janelle's Halloween plans are dashed when her parents are busy, leaving her without a way to trick-or-treat in the suburbs. In the heart of New York City, she turns to her neighbors, uncovering stories of past Halloweens that inspire a new way to celebrate. As she listens, Janelle discovers that Halloween can be about giving as much as receiving. Will her community come together to create a memorable 'fall-iday'? Join Janelle on a journey of generosity and community spirit that transforms her Halloween into something truly special.

From the publisher

When a little girl can’t follow her usual tradition, she turns to her New York City neighbors for help. This is a can’t-miss celebration of generosity and community from bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson. Janelle knows exactly what she wants to be for Halloween, but she has no idea how she’ll celebrate–her mommy has to work and can’t take her to trick-or-treat in the suburbs, and daddy has to run his store like always. But listening to her friends and neighbors’ stories of Halloweens past and present, helps Janelle realize that there may be a way to celebrate the fall-iday that lets her give as much as she gets.
