"Halloween is coming! This year, Tony Baloney wants to stand out in the crowd at the school Halloween parade. But can he keep his costume intact until the day of the parade?"--Page [4] of cover.

Deja and Josie are best friends on a seasonal basis--every autumn all through high school they both come to work at the world's best pumpkin patch. Now, though, is their last Halloween, the last year of high school--they will never work together again. Realizing this, Josie and Deja decide to skip work and actually make a night of it, doing all the fun things the patch offers--and maybe they will come to some realizations that only the ending of an era brings.

"Narwhal loves Halloween--it's a great excuse to dress up in a spooky and silly costume, like a ghost, a mermaid, a banana, or maybe even Marlow the Mustachioed Moose. It's a skeleTON of fun! Jelly isn't dressing up, though--he's a little scared of this time of year, and would prefer to hunker down in a hidey-hole until Halloween is over. But when a scary sea monster makes an appearance and swallows Narwhal (gulp!), can Jelly, with the help of some super friends, pluck up the courage to save his best bud?"--Provided by publisher.
