STARRED REVIEW! "This delightful picture book is a must-have for elementary libraries."--School Library Journal starred review

Each year, she and her siblings look forward to tricking a sly spirit named Jack by carving turnips into jack-o'-lanterns and walking the streets of their small town in ghostly costumes.
