It is Halloween and Lulu must decide on a costume. Should she be Ladybug Girl or something new? She tries many different costumes, but nothing seems right.

After all, she is Ladybug Girl and it is important to be true to yourself.

From School Library Journal:

K-Gr 2—Deciding what to be for Halloween takes a lot of thought and creativity, especially if you're Ladybug Girl and are already known for your awesome superhero costume. When her older brother makes her doubt her decision to trick-or-treat as her red-tutu-clad-superhero self, Lulu begins thinking of other costumes she can put together on short notice. After rejecting a robot, a silent movie star, an octopus, an alien, and, most uniquely, a vampire panda, she is forced to give up her costume-creating to go apple picking with her family. While there, she worries about her options, and it isn't until she goes into full Ladybug Girl mode to help a lost girl in the corn maze that she realizes she already has the perfect costume. Soman's artwork combines the endearing sketchbook illustration style that readers have come to love with the warm hues of autumn, creating the perfect backdrop for this spunky heroine's latest adventure. Fans of Ladybug Girl won't be disappointed with this installment that weaves together favorite fall activities and the familiar message of staying true to yourself.—Jenna Boles, Greene County Public Library, Beavercreek, OH
