Illustrated by
Harry Bliss.
Witchling (A Very Brave Witch) chases her sugar high to a human neighborhood on Halloween night. Older sister cluelessly attempts a rescue mission--"free the hostage!"--while the friendly cartoon drawings make clear that Witchling is on this trick-or-treat adventure of her own free will. The visual treats and dead-funny wordplay in Bliss's autumnal illustrations extend to the endpapers.
