The Real Halloween
The Real Halloween: Another Little Book from Ballyhoo | Grace Jolliffe, Jessie Kay
2 posts | 1 read
It was Halloween night in Ireland.
Sean didn\'t mean to run away.
But he did.
He thought he liked scary things.
But now he\'s sorry.
Scary stories didn\'t bother Sean. He loved to read them by torchlight.
But then his mother took them away.
He ran all the way to his Grandad\'s house even though it was a dark Halloween night.
He knew better but thought his Grandad would understand.
But Grandad tells him the story of the haunted well, a lost uncle and he must learn that some scary stories just might be true.

Grandpa is telling the story of the ghost that dances on the well to his grandson. But the author (not the grandpa, which might be understandable) goes off on tangents, and the book ends without revealing the story, presumably in book 2. Meant for kids, I don't see how this book can be likable at all when the book never gets to the story it's supposed to tell.

Love the cover though.
