But when she meets a little boy who also shares his fears, Boo realises that perhaps Halloween – and the dark – aren’t quite as scary as she thought.

And is Boo ready to shine? You bet she is! Children will love this brilliantly fun picture book – especially those who find Halloween a little bit too spooky! A must-have Halloween gift! Fun and heartfelt story, with brightly-coloured illustrations showing all the fun and magic of halloween Created by award-winning author Michelle Robinson and bestselling illustrator Mike Byrne
