So they come up with a "ghostly" surprise for the big kids. A child fears her neighbor has eaten her cat and hung its skin out to dry. Two policemen plan a Halloween surprise for the neighborhood children. A group of children jam a man's doorbell because he doesn't have treats for them and then need his help. A boy gets a new kitten named Jackie on Halloween. A little girl changes from a dancer to a witch and back in to a dancer. In these nine short stories, readers will share some very happy Halloweens with the Haywood gang. They will learn about Halloween in the middle of the twentieth century when children went door to door trick or treating by themselves, when the sight of themselves in their costumes scared them silly, when it was OK to get a ride on a motorcycle from a neighbor, when kids bought things from Ten Cent Stores, they new the policemen's names, and said jeepers when they were excited.

Halloweenies
by David Wisniewski"Get ready to shriek...with laughter! Within these covers lurk five horror spoofs just waiting to tickle your funny bone. Can it survive the shaggy shenanigans of "Frankenstein's Hamster"? Can it endure the galactic giggles of "Attack of the Space Toupees"? Yes, you say... Well, grab your popcorn! The lights are going down! The curtains are going up! It's time for the first showing of... " Publishers Weekly In five stories modeled on creature-feature movies, Wisniewski, working more in the vein of his The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups than his Caldecott-winning Golem, [available from Bookshare] warms up old gags. Pen-and-inks of three movie-going boys imply the intended audience, and so do lowbrow jokes about a castle's "big buttress" and a sherpa named "Duk Pin Bo Ling." A pushy cosmetologist turns a werewolf into a "werewuss," and, in "Attack of the Space Toupees," the wives of exclusively male government officials thwart a UFO plot (the vanquished aliens respond with sinister "space girdles"). Ages 7-up. Pictures are described. Other books by David Wisniewski are available from Bookshare.
Hallucinogens: Unreal Visions (Illicit and Misused Drugs)
by Sheila NelsonSeeing things that aren't really there, thinking thoughts you would never normally have thought-- hallucinogenic drugs work on the body by altering the way a person thinks, feels, or experiences reality. Some of these drugs are found in nature, while others are created in laboratories. All of them can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects. Hallucinogens: Unreal Visions tells the long history of these drugs. Because of the effects hallucinogens have on perceptions, people have often believed these drugs were showing them deeper meanings about the world or helping them connect with gods or their own unconscious minds. Hallucinogens, however, can be extremely dangerous. While legitimate medical or therapeutic uses may be found for these drugs in the future, taking them with friends or alone could be extremely dangerous or even deadly. This book will tell you more.
