Adam Gustavson.
Charlie has high expectations for Halloween: he has a creative homemade bat costume and plans to trick-or-treat with friends during a sleepover party. When both the party and the costume fall flat, Charlie weathers his disappointment well, and he's pleasantly surprised by the emotional support of friends and family. Occasional ink and watercolor illustrations highlight the installment's funniest moments.
