Saving Halloween

This is a darling story of learning and accepting who you are.... Saving Halloween is strongly recommended to those interested in recognizing uncertainty about yourself, and finding the magic of who you really are. Portland Book Review

 

A lovely story of friendship...satisfying to the reader with a humorous, perfectly tied up ending drawing from a foreshadowed comment near the beginning of the book. That takes art and is done very well...This author is an excellent and talented novelist. Write more books! Judge, Writer's Digest 21st Annual Self-Published Book Awards
