On Halloween, it is always wise to expect the unexpected, but no amount of preparation could have readied Evie for that night. After escaping from an unpleasant orphanage, she is rescued by someone she never believed was real... the legendary Pumpkin King.

Putting caution aside, Evie accepts the offer to become his daughter and is transported to the misty valley of Hallowell - a place of witches and vampires, ghosts and monsters, and all those that go bump in the night. But just as she believes she has found her place among the dead, a malicious conspiracy is revealed, threatening to take everything from her unless she can stop it.

From young author Stephen Banbury comes a warm, magical adventure sure to delight those who love Halloween tricks as much as autumn treats.
