Two friends. One haunted night. When Lily and Jordan stumble into a costume shop that wasn't there yesterday, they find more than capes and masks-each costume seems to choose them back. With a purring guide named Buttons, a mirror that turns stars into a map, and rules like "never answer from places you can't see," they follow glowing tokens through fog, candy clues, and a creaky old theater. But a shadow called the Curse Keeper believes it's "kind to keep"-and he's kept this town afraid for too long. To break the spell by sunrise, Lily and Jordan must choose people over magic, courage over fear, and friendship over every whisper in the dark. Spooky (not gory), fast, and warm-hearted, The Haunted Costume Shop: Two Friends, One Haunted Night is a perfect read for grades 4-7 and anyone who loves friendly ghosts, clever puzzles, and Halloween wonder.
