Story line: Two no good, down and out gamblers stir up trouble in a mining town in the Wild West. They try to take over a gold mine from a stubborn old miner who has a mine with no gold. Per the format Lucky Luke saves the day. Sounds prosaic, but Goscinny's trademark humor is evident throughout and makes this kids book work. Try it, you'll like it.

A Lucky Luke Adventure : Ghost Town

Room on the Broom

The witch loses her hat, leading to a series of misadventures, each of which adds another passenger on her broom. The combined weight finally snaps the broom, leaving the witch at the mercy of a mean, hungry dragon. She is saved by her clever flying companions, and the jolly verses end with them all flying happily together on a larger, "truly magnificent broom." In large, colorful, action-filled scenes and vignettes, Scheffler depicts an appealing pig tailed witch, a benign landscape, and a magical world in a humorous, cartoon-y style. Even the final confrontation between the dragon and the "horrible beast" of her friends is conceived for fun, not fright.

The Halloween Kid

A Very Brave Witch

A young green witch tells us about witches and humans. Witches, she says, love Halloween for the decorations and the costumes, but they are afraid of humans because they are not green. She points out that humans are afraid to fly, they do not wear pointy hats, and they seldom cackle. But this brave young witch is determined to take a look at humans, so she and her orange cat take off on her broomstick to observe the celebration of Halloween. Swirling around a tree, she loses her balance and falls to the ground. She is immediately surrounded by young humans who treat her very kindly, asking if she is all right and admiring her costume. One little girl pats her and tells her that she dreams of flying. The two girls climb on the broomstick and fly happily above the trees, discovering that their fears have been groundless. The detailed illustrations of spooky houses and flying witches are cheerful rather than scary. This New York Times Best-Selling Halloween Favorite has been repackaged in a smaller edition just right for young readers to hold and enjoy.

Froggy's Halloween

Trixie The Halloween Fairy

With its "Rainbow Magic" series, the publisher seeks to tap into current fascination with make believe fairies. This "special edition" series Halloween kids book has particular appeal, focusing as it does on the fun, intriguing holiday of Halloween. Rachel and Kirsty are looking forward to trick-or-treating as fairies, but their plans are quickly disrupted by the mean-spirited antics of Jack Frost. Frost had his goblins steal three magical pieces of Halloween candy from Trixie, the Halloween Fairy. Fortunately, they lost the candy in the process; at least they do not have it! Unfortunately, unless Trixie can find the candies and return them to Fairyland before Frost's minions find them, Halloween will be ruined! That is where Rachel and Kirsty come in. Trixie needs the girls' help to find the chocolate bar, candy corn, and caramel apple. The pacing of this Halloween kids book is slow, and the action is surprisingly passive. The true hero of the kids book seems to be Trixie's Fairyland kitten Moonlight. Still, fairy-mad readers are likely to enjoy this Halloween kids book, and the low cost might justify its purchase as an appealing holiday-specific option for middle readers.
