I read this book as one of my Halloween reads, and I am so thankful that I did. It’s a beautifully written story, which reminded me to look tomorrow in the face with a smile. It was also the perfect blend of spooky while not being overly scary! I’m so excited to pick up more of Ray Bradbury, especially The October Country next fall.
