Can Charlie Bumpers face his fear of horror movies, come up with a
genius costume, and enjoy Halloween?
Fourth graders Charlie and Tommy have big plans for Halloween. They're
going to trick-or-treat and sleep over at Alex's house. But when Charlie
finds out that the entertainment at the party will be the Scariest
Horror Movies Ever, he is struck by panic. Charlie loves candy, he loves
sleepovers with his friends, but he absolutely hates horror movies.
There is yet another wrinkle in Charlie's Halloween plans. He is
determined to win the big prize (ten movie tickets) that will be awarded
for the best costume, but when he finally comes up with a genius
prize-winning idea, he runs into an unexpected obstacle. How will
Charlie be able to enjoy Halloween this year?
