Trixie Cole and her friends have a plan—a really nasty plan that includes five dozen rotten, smelly, putrefied eggs. On Halloween night, they are going to “decorate” the big creepy house at the end of Shady Way, where Mr. Boggarty lives. He’s the grumpy old guy that lives by himself, doesn’t take care of his huge house, and never hands out candy to trick-or-treaters.
When the lights go out and the front door slams shut, Trix and her friends are in for the fright of their lives. The Lime Green Ghost has a prank of his own, plenty of scares to share, and a terrifying story to tell. Soon the five frightened friends will unlock the mystery of Mr. Boggarty’s family, learn an important lesson in spooky etiquette, and discover what it means to truly have a big Halloween heart.
Will Trix and her friends survive Halloween night? Or will they be whisked off to the Elementary School of Evil? The Middle School of Malice? Or the High School of Horror?
Ooh went the wind…and out went the lights… Then out came the ghost on Halloween night!

I received this book for free as a #GoodreadsGiveaway A group of kids decide to prank the neighborhood grumpy old man on Halloween night, only to get pranked themselves by said old man. I suspect several of the old man's one-liners will go over the heads of many children, but I found it to be a cute read. It should be noted that this book will teach your kids how to make rotten eggs for egging! 😂
