Welcome to the Halloween Party!

[Prof. Sky Alton]

Welcome all you ghouls, ghosts and guests to the book Club’s very own Halloween party!

We’re so glad you could join us for a celebration of spine-tingling literature, ghost stories, unexplained phenomena and miscellaneous things that go bump in the night!

We have 5 main things for you:
Our haunting read-along
pumpkin carving
and 3 terrifying puzzles:
A jigsaw
A word search
A fallen letters puzzle

Each of these will earn you 20 beans for your candy bucket (though you only have to contribute to 2 of the Read-Along posts to earn 20 for that), so there’s 100 up for grabs in total!

Everything is due by 31st October, 11:59 PM HOL-time!

In addition, we’d also like to invite you to post reviews for your favourite creepy or bone-chilling reads over on The bookshelf. As a warm up, why not share which literary characters scared you most as a child in a reply to this topic?

Now, will you come and dance the Macabray?

[Prof. Sky Alton]

You have just over 2 days left to take part in the Halloween Party - everything is due at 11:59 PM HOL-time on 31 October. We've loved seeing all your responses so far!

[Prof. Sky Alton]
