A new title to add to the collection and delight those who love a little gentle suspense is Trick or Treat? by Catherine Emmett and Laura Brenlla. It’s published by OUP in 2024.

Trick or Treat? Synopsis
A witch is thrilled when a little girl shows up at her door for ‘Trick or Treat’ – especially since a ‘little girl’ is the final ingredient she needs for her potion. But as the witch prepares her wicked brew, she soon discovers that it’s actually she who’s in for a trick in this delightfully original Halloween tale!

Trick or Treat Review
Catherine Emmett’s Trick or Treat? is a fun, spooky book with a wickedly good twist. Blending the classic suspense of Little Red Riding Hood with its prose having ghostly echoes of the childhood favourite Funnybones and the eerie edge of Hansel and Gretel. This really is a deliciously, devilish little treat of a book!

It’s a joy to read aloud, with lots of anticipation on each page of what’s to come. A book where young readers will be filled with the feels of ‘look behind you’ – well, right in front of you!

Laura Brenlla’s illustrations bring a vibrant, quirky zing that’s as enchanting as it is spine-tingling. We love the colour palette and the pops of neon throughout. Trick or Treat? is perfect for young readers who like their stories with a mix of gentle suspense and oodles of fun. This is a Halloween tale that promises to delight and surprise in equal measure.
