My first thought after finishing The Halloween Tree is that it should be a Halloween tradition in the same way A Christmas Carol by Dickens is a Christmas tradition.

I enjoyed this story and the old Halloween feeling. Back during a time when kids could run free unsupervised all hours of the night. This is a story of tricks, treats, and friendships.

This is great for the Halloween season. I’m sure I would have eaten this up as a child. Fun, spooky and a little scary it delivers all the atmosphere of a Halloween read. This was a fun romp through time.
