Review:

"The story is...full of action as a diverse group of boys and girls eagerly sets off to get as much sweet loot as they can." Kirkus Reviews, August 1, 2015

"Lit with sunset shades of pink and purple, Monlongo's illustrations conjure a cinematic sense of theatricality while capturing the visceral excitement of fully escaping into character on Halloween." Publishers Weekly, starred review, July 24, 2015
