Description
Description
When a little girl can't follow her usual tradition, she turns to her New York City neighbors for help. This is a can't-miss celebration of generosity and community from bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson. Janelle knows exactly what she wants to be for Halloween, but she has no idea how she'll celebrate--her mommy has to work and can't take her to trick-or-treat in the suburbs, and daddy has to run his store like always. But listening to her friends and neighbors' stories of Halloweens past and present, helps Janelle realize that there may be a way to celebrate the fall-iday that lets her give as much as she gets.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"This story successfully demonstrates how a densely populated city of strangers becomes a community during Halloween to safeguard youthful masqueraders... A positive and realistic story that showcases urban holiday tradition and culture." - SLJ "YA novelist Jackson conveys the pleasures of Halloween while acknowledging that, due to safety reasons, many city dwellers find their own ways to observe the holiday... In a sea of trick-or-treat books, this one keeps it real." --Kirkus
