Halloween Heroes by Brandie Lynn Petras
In the small town of Scotia Rock, Halloween is more than just costumes and candy—it’s a day filled with magic and enchantment. This year, four siblings—Bella, Bianca, Baby Bobby, and Brielle—find a mysterious spell book on Bella’s doorstep at midnight. With a whisper of some magic words, they are transported to Pumpkin Hallow, a fantastic world where their costumes come to life and every corner holds a new surprise.
But not everything is amazing in Pumpkin Hallow. The Halloween Spirit is fading fast after an evil witch named Big Better steals the enchanted pumpkin that powers the land’s magic. Determined to save Halloween, the siblings embark on a thrilled quest, facing clever riddles, meeting friendly ghosts and talking scarecrows, and relying on their unique strengths. Together, they must outwit Big Betty and restore the Halloween magic to Pumpkin Hollow. Their magical adventure will be one they never forget—and every Halloween, they’ll remember that a little bit of magic is always just around the corner.

Grandma’s Halloween Stories by Joan Tenner
A beautiful and enchanting picture book that will appeal to readers young and old. Packed with magic, potions, witchcraft, and wonder. This book captures the heart and imagination with its charming rhymes and delightful Halloween-themed drawings.
A grandmother’s delight is her grandchildren. For this “grandmother,” a special time for her was to share Halloween. The grandchildren would always stop at Grandma’s house dressed in their costumes prior to their night of trick-or-treating and listen to spooky stories of ghosts, goblins, and witches. A grandma read her stories; her grandchildren listened wide-eyed and spellbound. Little did the children know, though they may have suspected, Grandma was the witch in her stories. The children all agreed the stories were not true—but instead just fun to tell and read. No witch could brew a magic stew or cast a magic spell! That is all just make-believe for nights like Halloween . . . or was it?
