⚠️ Any Boo-worthy Critiques?
While the story is packed with charm, it could benefit from a little more depth in its character development. With thirteen trick-or-treaters, it’s easy to lose track of who’s who. But for a book aimed at younger readers, this isn’t a major issue—kids are likely to be more focused on the spooky fun than on deep character arcs. The emphasis on atmosphere and adventure fits the Halloween theme just right.
