Vera finally gets to join her older sisters for a night of trick-or-treating. Fall quickly turns wintry, with rain, sleet, and snow, and Vera's much-anticipated evening unravels (along with her mummy costume) as she loses her family, her candy, and her way. Light, playful watercolors keep the tension just right for younger readers, with Vera's adventure ending safely at a friend's door.
