A Newbery Halloween

Reach for this collection when your child is craving the thrill of a spooky story but isn't quite ready for the graphic intensity of modern horror. This anthology gathers twelve stories from legendary Newbery-winning authors like Beverly Cleary and Madeleine L'Engle, offering a sophisticated blend of classic mystery, gentle chills, and deep emotional resonance. It is perfect for the child who enjoys wondering what might be hiding in the attic or around the next corner. While the stories vary in tone, they collectively explore themes of bravery, curiosity, and the thin line between imagination and reality. These tales are intellectually stimulating and linguistically rich, making them an excellent choice for building vocabulary and sparking meaningful conversations about fear and wonder. It is a safe yet exciting way to celebrate the Halloween season through the lens of high-quality children's literature.
