Okay Witch GN – Aladdin Books introduces a half-witch who is more than okay. Thirteen-year-old Moth Hush loves all things witchy but has never really fit into her home town of Founder’s Bluff, Massachusetts. When some eighth-grade bullies try to ruin her Halloween, she finds out why: She is descended from a line of witches who were once persecuted by the town and escaped to a spirit realm. After meeting and befriending a talking cat, Moth falls into an enchanted diary and unlocks the way into that realm. Soon, secrets surface from generations past as she unravels the complicated legacy at the heart of her town, her family, and herself. Fans of Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Roller Girl will enjoy this coming-of-age story.

Blastosaurus Malloween Special #1 – Golden Apple Books’ dinosaur detective is ready for some ghost hunting in his newest investigation. Freak Out City Mall is shutting down because the ghost of teen sitcom actress Eliza Beth Barclay, who died in 1994 while filming, has come back to haunt it. Customers are scared to shop there. I mean, who would try on underwear when there could be a ghost watching? But why did Eliza Beth wait 25 years to start haunting the place? And who is the mysterious shoe salesman lurking around? Blasto and the kids take the case to find the answers and save the mall, while trying to score some discounted Halloween candy along the way. Get a jump start on the Halloween season with this special issue.
