New releases spark excitement for all ages: Young kids will beg for extra readings of Halloween stories about friendly ghosts and magical witches, while older ones will tear through spine-chilling thrillers about eerie shadows in the woods and frightening zombies.
Books are an easy way to create a memorable Halloween season while promoting literacy skills. When kids are engaged in new books — say, a hot-off-the-press title about monsters or ghouls — they’re more likely to grow into lifelong readers.
Don't forget to download our free — and frighteningly fun — Halloween scavenger hunt.
Looking for a delightfully quirky story to celebrate the season? Mille Fleur's Pumpkin Problem is a charming picture book filled with fall magic, laugh-out-loud surprises, and an empowering message about embracing what makes you unique.

Includes a sheet of fun stickers for even more seasonal fun!
Meanwhile, newly independent readers can sink their teeth into The Dark and Other Scary Stories, a chilling collection of ten spine-tingling tales from New York Times best-selling author Max Brallier. Each story is illustrated in haunting, full-color artwork by Letizia Rubegni, and told with spare yet scare-inducing text — perfect to share at sleepovers!
