Follow Sally to a dark realm called Shadow Town--where a powerful foe awaits her--in the #1 New York Times bestselling series inspired by Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas!

Can Sally save Jack from the shadows?

Sally should be at ease now that she has proven herself as Pumpkin Queen by saving Halloween Town from destructive spells twice. But the villain behind the town's most recent troubles--a mysterious figure cloaked in darkness--is still at large, and Sally refuses to rest until she and her king, Jack Skellington, can find their enemy and stop them forever.

Then, strange storm clouds and directionless wind begin to haunt Halloween Town, and soon, citizens start to go missing. It becomes clear that the dark foe has decided to make the first move, and Sally will need allies from across the Hinterlands to stop him. But as Sally and Jack gather their friends to fight back against this attack, the unthinkable happens: the mysterious force takes Jack, too.

After learning that her nemesis is a dark prince who lives in a lost realm called Shadow Town, Sally embarks on another cross-realms quest to find a solution, one that will connect her to new locales like Chance Town and the Hinterlands Maze. With the prince tracking her at every turn, seemingly bent on revenge, Sally will need to fight with every fiber of her being to prevent Halloween Town from utter destruction. But what secrets is the prince hiding--and could the truth undo everything?

In this charming translated work from Finland, an imaginative child makes a scrapbook of "lasts" instead of "firsts," inviting readers to reflect on what they hold onto and save.

Some people collect pens, shells, or stamps. Others collect friends, trips, or world records. This picture book shares one girl's unusual collection: a collection of lasts.

With a feel for the poignant, the bittersweet, and the odd, an observant, emotionally astute child shares the whimsical, eccentric, and touching lasts she has collected, from the last day cold enough for a wool cap, to the last anxious breath before a high dive, to the last person in her class to lose a tooth, to the last piece of chocolate, to the last words of a whole life.

Beautifully illustrated in pencil and watercolor, this is an exploration of lasts that might set something new in motion--or might bring finality. There are feelings of fear, sadness, contentment, longing, and happiness here, making for a wistful picture book in which a young girl's collection of last moments is depicted with a warm touch.

Odds and Ends is a collection of memories which invites open discussion of each reader's personal lasts.
