My 2016 Halloweensie Entry

It’s my favorite time of year—Halloween! For a month (or maybe three) it’s socially acceptable (I think) to watch Hocus Pocus on a loop. Don’t judge me.

It’s also time for Susanna Leonard Hill’s 6th Annual Halloweensie Contest! To enter, you must write a 100-word-or-less Halloween story containing the words spider, ghost, and moon. Judging criteria include kid-friendliness, Halloweeniness, story quality, writing quality, and creativity/originality.

I encourage you to participate. It’s spooktacular fun! Read my entry below.

PB Gush: Boo-La-La Witch Spa

With Halloween just days away, I need to gush about Boo-La-La Witch Spa by Samantha Berger and illustrated by Isabel Roxas. This fab-boo picture book is a witch’s guide to wicked relaxation with fresh, fun language and witchy spa treatments. I love Halloween and the spa, so this PB caught my attention like a witch flying across a full moon. It’s wonderful from cover to cover, my pretties.
