Trick-or-Treat on Milton Street

Synopsis

Charley would rather face a graveyard full of ghouls than trick-or-treat on Milton Street with his goofy new stepfather. After he meets a witch, a mummy, a vampire, and lots of other creepy creatures, Charley will never look at Milton Street—or his stepfather—the same way again.

“Charley dreads trick-or-treating with his goofy new stepfather on his boring new street, but to his surprise, this Halloween turns out to be the best one yet. All adults, particularly Charley’s stepfather, are positively depicted in this reassuring and upbeat story.” (Horn Book Guide)
