When a little girl can’t follow her usual tradition, she turns to her New York City neighbors for help. This is a can’t-miss celebration of generosity and community from bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson.

Janelle knows exactly what she wants to be for Halloween, but she has no idea how she’ll celebrate—her mommy has to work and can’t take her to trick-or-treat in the suburbs, and Daddy has to run his store like always. But listening to her friends’ and neighbors’ stories of Halloween’s past and present, helps Janelle realize that there may be a way to celebrate the fall day that lets her give as much as she gets.

Tiffany D. Jackson is the New York Times bestselling, award-winning author of YA novels Monday’s Not Coming, Allegedly, Let Me Hear A Rhyme, Grown, White Smoke, Santa in The City, The Weight of Blood, and co-author of Blackout and Whiteout: A Novel. A Coretta Scott King — John Steptoe New Talent Award-winner and the NAACP Image Award-nominee, she received her bachelor of arts in film from Howard University and has over a decade of TV/Film experience. The Brooklyn native is currently splitting her time between the borough she loves and the south, most likely multitasking.
