Everyone says a witch lives at the end of Fogwood Lane. But what if everyone is wrong?
At the end of the street stands a crooked old house no child dares to visit. Rumors say a scary witch lives inside, and every Halloween, children hurry past without stopping.
But inside is Isadora-a lonely little girl who wants something much simpler than anyone imagines.
She just wants a friend.
When three children finally gather enough courage to knock on Isadora's door, fear gets the better of them. They run away without ever discovering the truth.
But sometimes a choice that lasts only a moment can change more than we realize.
And sometimes getting a second chance means finding the courage to go back.
The Last Halloween: A Not-So-Spooky Tale of Friendship is a heartwarming rhyming picture book about looking beyond rumors, including others, making things right, and discovering that the things we fear aren't always what they seem.
