as he left, but soon they started

hearing other sounds like creaks,

a crack, a crunch, and then a SHRIEK!

But is it just the wind spooking them or is there something lurking outside With gorgeous, silly-spooky illustrations from award-winning illustrator Jonathan Bentley, this Halloween picture book will surprise and delight the whole family.
