- Baker & Taylor
Sixth-grader Caleb discovers that at Samhain Intermediate School every day is Halloween, and everybody wears costumes--the trouble is that in the town of Samhain some of the monsters are real, and out for blood. - Baker & Taylor
Moving to Samhain, Wisconsin, where every day is Halloween, Caleb becomes an outcast at school because he doesnât like Halloween, and when things get even weirder, heâs the only one who realizes danger is brewing and must save a town that doesnât want saving. Simultaneous eBook. - Simon and Schuster
A boy moves to a Halloween-themed town only to realize there may be more to the tourist trap than meets the eye in this fast-paced romp of a middle grade novel perfect for fans of The Last Kids on Earth and Escape from Mr. Lemoncelloâs Library!
When Calebâs mom decides they are moving to her childhood home in Wisconsin, Caleb is not thrilled. Moving schools, states, and time zones would be bad enough, but Momâs hometown is Samhain, a small and ridiculously kitschy place where every day is Halloween.
Caleb is not a fan of Halloween when it only happens once a year, so Halloween-obsessed Samhain is really not the place for him. How is he supposed to cope with kids wearing costumes to school every single day? And how about the fact that the mayor is so committed to the bit that City Hall is only open from sundown to sunup to accommodate his so-called vampirism? Sure enough, Caleb becomes an outcast at school for refusing to play along with the spooky tradition like the other sixth graders. Luckily, he manages to find a friend in fellow misfit Tai, and just in time, because things are getting weird in Samhainâ¦or make that weirder.
But thereâs no way the mayor is an actual vampire, and their teacher absolutely cannot really be a werewolfâright? Caleb discovers Samhain is so much stranger than he ever could have imagined. As one of the only people who realizes whatâs happening, can he save a town that doesnât want saving?
