• Loveable characters? Yes

A fun, spooky read with familiar faces and new characters to love. It would be fun to read a chapter a day in October.

One of my favorites.

I have fond memories of listening to an audio book of this on cassette tape. It’d be worth keeping a Walkman around just for this purpose.

This book was a fun read! I think it could have been shorter, but it was still rather short and quick.
