Kids' Halloween Pick: The Last Apprentice Series

Halloween is my favorite holiday. It really is. There's something amazing about being able to pretend to be ANYTHING YOU WANT for an entire day...I'm thinking about dressing as a Chihuahua this year...

That puts me in the mood for finding some great Halloween-ie books. Today we'll do a Kid Pick and tomorrow we'll do an Adult Pick....MUAHAHAHAHAH!

So, attention kids who love the Goosebumps books (RL Stine) but are looking for something new to try! Check out THE LAST APPRENTICE by Joseph Delaney.

Tom Ward, the main character, is the seventh son of a seventh son and it's time for him to start thinking about a career. For some reason, his parents decide to send him to live with a creepy guy who makes a living by scaring scary creatures. He's called a Spook.

The book is packed with great characters and spooky mysteries. Be ready to sleep with a night light for the next few days and pick up the first book in the series, Revenge of the Witch, today!

PS: Here's the publisher's description: "Before Tom Ward, the local Spook had twenty-nine apprentices. Some floundered, some fled, some failed to stay alive, and now Tom is the Spook’s last chance. It’s up to him to help the Spook fight the local witches, ghosts and boggarts – and survive."
