Book Synopsis



Return to Halloween Town in this #1 New York Times bestselling companion novel to Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Jack and Sally are "truly meant to be" . . . or are they? Discover the next chapter in their story, penned by New York Times best-selling author Shea Ernshaw.

Following a whirlwind courtship with her true love, Jack Skellington, Sally the rag doll has officially stepped into the role of Pumpkin Queen. But while she adores Jack with every inch of her fabric seams, she can't quite say the same for her new job. Cast into the spotlight and tasked with all sorts of royal duties, she starts to wonder if all she's done is trade her captivity under Dr. Finkelstein for a different cage.

Then, while exploring the Hinterlands beyond the holiday doors, Sally stumbles upon a long-hidden entrance to another ancient realm called Dream Town--and unknowingly sets a chain of sinister events into motion. Before she knows it, both her future as Pumpkin Queen and the future of Halloween Town itself have been thrust into into jeopardy.

Can Sally discover what it means to be true to herself and save the town she's learned to call home, or will her future turn into her worst... well, nightmare?

This darkly romantic fantasy comes to paperback alongside the forthcoming sequel, Hour of the Pumpkin Queen!

Loved

Loved it so cool to hear about the other worlds. I think it’s a great book. Finished in 2 days. I would recommend it! I think people who are giving it lower ratings are taking it too seriously. It’s supposed to be a fun sequel.

cute idea but feels like fanfic

I love the idea of this sequel expanding on the NBC world and even seeing the other holidays and Sally's backstory, but the beginning and ending feel like they were thrown together hastily and read like an online fanfiction. I'll say that the book was decent aside from the opening and ending, but it's not something I'll be re-reading or recommending.

I really wanted to like it

I didn’t like it which is a shame because I really wanted to. Basically without giving away any spoilers it didn’t feel like it was Sally speaking or any character for that matter. Which was disappointing because I LOVE the movie and Sally to be honest this was written like a bad fan fiction.

fun for people who don't know the story ig

This book does the original so dirty, and tries to change Sally's character a lot. Without spoilers, just know it rips up the canon of the actual movie in a super disappointing way. The first few chapters were nice, and some general world-building things gave me that "feel-good" emotion because we always wanted the movie to go on, but ultimately it's a solid no from me. Between the poor and cringey writing, and the unfathomable alterations to each character's personality, I'm so so surprised Disney allowed their name to be put on this.

A great read

I’m obsessed with Halloween. Always have been. Grew up watching a nightmare before Christmas. This is such a fun view of Sally’s, to read. I could completely hear all the voices from the book coming to life since watching the movie. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I do love that they added a new place and explored other doorways. So fun.

Sally Skellington

I have always loved "The nightmare before Christmas" and so when I saw this book I absolutely had to read it. I love the story line, the details on what Sally went through before, during and after her 'nightmare' took shape. I really hope there is another book that shows more of the ending because I want more of Sally and Jack!
