Danny Dragonbreath and his best friend, Wendell, have a carefully constructed trick-or-treating system designed to maximize their Halloween candy haul. But this year, despite Danny's awesome vampire costume, their plan is flopping. First, Danny's dad makes them trick-or-treat with Christiana Vanderpool, an annoying know-it-all (and girl) who doesn't even believe that dragons exist. And then the school bully dares them to go into a spooky old haunted house. Naturally, the house is inhabited by a creepy clown and a candy-crazed ghost of yore. It's going to take more than fire-breathing to get them out of this mess - they might even have to (horror of horrors!) perform a sacrificial candy offering.
Perfect for fans of Wimpy Kid, Bad Kitty, and Big Nate, Ursula Vernon's hauntingly hilarious fifth book in the Dragonbreath series will make you check your closets and lock up your candy.

      Adventure-magnet Danny Dragonbreath and his nebbish sidekick Wendell have no idea what trick-or-treat has in store for them...

      The first horror: Wendell's costume consists of two pie tins, one emblazoned with a plus and another with a minus...he's a hydrogen atom. He's hoping the pity candy will offset the embarrassment. The second horror: Danny's dad has volunteered to take Christiana Vanderpool along. Christiana is an official Junior Skeptic (who doesn't believe that Danny's a real dragon). The third horror (though far from the last): Big Eddy and his pack of lizard goons lurk. Danny and company feel safe enough with parents nearby, but then Big Eddy dares Danny to go into the local haunted house. What can a young dragon do? The trio gets locked in the house, and the horrors begin to mount. Pictures change from crying clowns to flowers, mysterious thumps echo down dark halls, floors collapse, ghostly visions appear...will they survive the spectral onslaught—but, more importantly, will they escape with their candy collections intact? Vernon's fifth hybrid text-and–graphic-panels tale extends Danny's search for adventure (and Wendell's search for safety). Plenty of gags and one-liners similar to previous outings, in two-color panels and short chapters.

      Fans will enjoy the spooky outing, newbies should start with earlier volumes for maximum fun. (Graphic/fiction hybrid. 5-9)

      Danny Dragonbreath and friends embark on a Halloween adventure, complete with haunted house and a real ghost. The story, with its many cartoon panels interspersed in the main text, has strong appeal in its welcoming format, many illustrations, and abundant humor. Fans of the previous books will find a lot of familiar action in this fifth entry.
