Karen's Halloween pumpkin is destroyed but not her Halloween. Book #32.
Quick Summary
If your kid is into the Baby-sitters Little Sister series, this is a fun one to grab right around Halloween. Karen's excitement over growing the perfect Halloween pumpkin takes a hit when something happens to it, but what makes this book actually sweet is seeing how she bounces back and still makes the holiday special. The reading level is perfect for kids in grades 4-8 who are ready for chapter books but still want something light and quick, and at around 11,000 words it's the kind of story a confident reader can finish in a sitting or two. There's nothing too scary here just the right amount of Halloween fun without keeping parents on edge so it's a good choice if your kid wants something festive but not frightening. Fans of Karen's personality will get a kick out of her determination to save the holiday, and it pairs nicely with other holiday-themed books in the series like the Christmas one.
