The Halloween Tree

Come one, come all, and read a festive Halloween tale about a group of kids who travel the globe learning about the many mysteries behind death itself. Your spooky ticket includes trips to Pre-Christian Europe, Egypt, Paris in the 16th century, and Mexico. You'll be in awe as the master storyteller uses his poetic pen to explain and describe how death originated in these cultures. Will all the passengers survive? Turn the pages to find out.

This book is just pure excitement and joy. I'm sure this is not an original idea, but the story feels like a Halloween version of A Christmas Carol. Bradbury has a way with words, and this story whisks you away on a fun adventure through time. Even though this is probably aimed at kids, there were so many cultural references that I had to hit Wikipedia to learn more. If you are looking for a book that will bring a sparkle to the eye and a shudder to the heart this fine, spooky season, this one will do the trick.
