Sam's Halloween Adventure
By Rachel HoffmanSam sets out on a spooky Halloween adventure that gives him a few chills—but by facing his fears, he discovers the night is full of fun, not fright. Sam can’t wait for Halloween, but once the costumes, decorations, and eerie sounds surround him, he starts to feel a little uneasy. Shadows seem darker, the carved pumpkins grin a little too wide, and every creak makes him wonder what might be hiding nearby. With each step, though, Sam finds courage—laughing with friends, collecting candy, and realizing that the “scary” parts are really just part of the excitement. By the end of the night, he’s proud of himself for being brave, and he sees Halloween for what it truly is: a holiday of fun, adventure, and sweet rewards.
