The story takes place during the month of October with Halloween and La Llorona on the minds of Joseph and his classmates. Joseph gives Saygar a gift of a superhero cape in preparation for Saygar's first Halloween. Not understanding the concept of costumes and trick-or-treating, Saygar believes he is a superhero. This leads to Joseph and Saygar's continuing battles with Marcie, The Moose, and other adventures and misadventures.(less)
