Description from Goodreads
A fast-moving, eerie tale set on Halloween night...
Eight costumed boys running to meet their friend Pipkin at the haunted house outside town encounter instead the huge and cadaverous Mr. Moundshroud. As Pipkin scrambles to join them, he is swept away by a dark Something, and Moundshroud leads the boys on the tail of a kite through time and space to search the past for their friend and the meaning of Halloween.
My Thoughts on the Book
The Halloween Tree does have some charm to it and while it's perhaps a bit simple/basic at times, it is after all a middle grade book, so I can't complain really. It's a bit fun that it scratches the surface on the history of Halloween though, and I do enjoy the author's writing style quite a lot.
