Charlie Galen has always loved Halloween, the one night when imagination comes alive and dreams-no matter how crazy-feel real, if only for a few hours of mischief and trick-or-treating. But when he and his best friend Plug attend a classmate's costume party, the fun takes a spooky turn, and they suddenly find themselves entangled in a ghostly occurrence that transforms their carefree holiday into a spine-tingling evening neither they nor any who read their tale will soon forget. For this haunting encounter reminds Charlie that his destiny comes with great responsibility... and even greater peril.
