Book Synopsis

When Halloween is threatened by bad weather, only one moth can save it.

It's Halloween, the biggest day of the year on Mothman's farm. Schoolchildren from nearby Point Pleasant are scheduled to arrive all day long to pick their own pumpkins...until it begins to rain.

By the time the skies clear, not only have the kids' field trips been cancelled, but it's too late to even go trick-or-treating. The day is officially declared the Worstest Halloween Ever (in the Entire Universe).(R)

Mothman, however, has a plan to make things right. With help from his fellow cryptids, he'll give the kids a holiday they'll never forget.

Review Quotes

"An oddball Halloween celebration turns a small town upside down in this quirky tale starring not ghouls and goblins, but the fanciful subjects of cryptozoology.... Zany and offbeat, this Halloween caper will appeal to readers craving sheer silliness." - School Library Journal

"This is a perfect holiday book for older elementary age students particularly third, fourth and fifth grade. The addition of Cryptids, such as Mothman, the Jersey Devil, and Bigfoot is sure to hold their interest along with the offbeat Halloween story." - Sherrie, school librarian on Goodreads

"A charming story for those who want to believe." - Doogie Horner, A Die Hard Christmas, on Mothman's Merry Cryptid Christmas

"A quirky holiday story with appeal for early elementary-aged readers curious about legendary creatures." - School Library Journal on Mothman's Merry Cryptid Christmas
