4.0 out of 5 stars A Review by Andrew (Class 5-506), February 5, 2004

Do you like made-up stuff? If you do, you should read this book. This book is part of the Bailey School Kids series. It starts when one kid named Eddie was playing Halloween pranks. Then he sees a weird man. Howie, Liza, and Melody, Eddie's friends, did not believe him because they know it's a trap. Is there really a weird man? If there is, why is he there?

I enjoyed reading this book because it has a lot of mysteries and entertaining happenings. I think if anyone is one of the four kids, I would say they would be afraid, but not the Bailey School Kids. My favorite character is Eddie because he is a funny boy and without him, there would be no laughter in this book. The genre of this book is a mystery and it may be a little fantasy too. My favorite part was when the kids went to every store and found not one piece of candy because it was very amusing and unusual.

If you want to find out what happened, you should read this book. This book is sort of easy to read because the words aren't too complicated. The pictures show information you can not think of and the pictures slow you down so you know what's happening. I didn't like the beginning because it didn't pull me in but I think you would start to understand it more at the middle. There are only a few big vocabulary words so I would recommend this book for beginning chapter readers. I would relate this book to other Bailey School Kids book because they always have a strange creature. This book is also good for people who like mystery and adventure, so if you like mystery and adventure, go out and buy this book!

I have gotten my granddaughter some these books and when I saw this one I just had to get her this one. In October she told me she didn't think it would be any fun to do that to a pumpkin so I thought if she saw other kids doing it she would see how much fun it could be. She loved it.
