Can Charlie Bumpers face his fear of horror movies, come up with a
genius costume, and enjoy Halloween?
Fourth graders Charlie and Tommy have big plans for Halloween.
They're going to trick-or-treat and sleep over at Alex's house. But
when Charlie finds out that the entertainment at the party will be
the "Scariest Horror Movies Ever," he is struck by panic. Charlie
loves candy, he loves sleepovers with his friends, but he
absolutely hates horror movies.
There is yet another wrinkle in Charlie's Halloween plans. He is
determined to win the big prize (ten movie tickets) that will be
awarded for the best costume, but when he finally comes up with a
genius prize-winning idea, he runs into an unexpected obstacle. How
will Charlie be able to enjoy Halloween this year? Black and white
illustrations throughout.

balance and levity, and Gustavson's uncommonly good spot

all the right places." ―Booklist

trouble.... A learning experience for more than just the main
character." ―Kirkus Reviews
