From the New York Times bestselling adult author Joseph Fink comes a deliciously dark middle grade novel about a Halloween-obsessed girl named Esther Gold, who ventures out trick-or-treating for one last year, only to discover her town under the mysterious control of an enigmatic presence.

Esther Gold loves Halloween more than anything in the world. So, determined to go trick-or-treating again this year, despite her parents' belief that she is officially too old, she has it all planned out—from her costume to her candy-collecting strategy. However, as the night unfolds, something feels off. No one answers their door. The moon takes on an unnatural orange hue. Strange children roam the streets, wearing creepy costumes that might not be costumes at all. And it seems like the only people awake to witness this eerie spectacle are Esther's best friend, her school bully, and her grown-up next-door neighbor.

Together, this unlikely crew must find a way to break the curse that has been cast upon their small town before it's too late. Because someone is out to ensure that Halloween never comes to an end. And even Esther doesn't want to be trapped in this night forever.
