And last, but definitely not least, because I think this might be my new favorite Halloween book of all time. Maybe not quite as good as like The Haunted Mask or The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradberry or Something Wicked This Way Comes, but very, very close.
Pumpkin Princess and the Forever Night (2024)
A spooky yet heartwarming adventure about one girl's journey into the land of the undead, and the unexpected family she finds along the way. Perfect for fans of Nevermoor and the hit series Wednesday. On Halloween, it is always wise to expect the unexpected, but no amount of planning could have prepared Eve for that particular night. Fleeing an unpleasant orphanage, she’s saved by someone who she never believed was real…the fabled Pumpkin King himself. Throwing caution aside, Eve accepts the offer to become his daughter and is whisked away to the misty Hallowell Valley—home to witches and vampires, ghosts and goblins, and all that go bump in the night. But just when she believes she’s found her place among the undead, a sinister scheme unearths itself, threatening to take everything from Eve unless she can stop it. From debut author Steven Banbury comes a cozy, magical adventure sure to delight anyone who loves the tricks of Halloween as much as the treats of autumn.
it was cute it was fun it was easy to fly through not my personal favorite I did find it a little bit flat in terms of some of the characters and wasn't as Whimsical as I would have liked it to be
