The Halloween Moon

De: Joseph Fink

Narrado por: Kevin R. Free

From New York Times best-selling adult author Joseph Fink comes a wickedly fun middle-grade novel about a Halloween-obsessed girl named Esther Gold, who goes out trick-or-treating for one last year, only to find her town under the thrall of a mysterious presence.

Esther Gold loves Halloween more than anything in the world. So she is determined to go trick-or-treating again this year despite the fact that her parents think she is officially too old. Esther has it all planned out, from her costume to her candy-collecting strategy. But when the night rolls around, something feels...off.

No one is answering their door. The moon is an unnatural shade of orange. Strange children wander the streets, wearing creepy costumes that might not be costumes at all. And it seems like the only people besides Esther who are awake to see it all are her best friend, her school bully, and her grown-up next-door neighbor.

Together, this unlikely crew must find a way to lift the curse that has been placed upon their small town before it’s too late. Because someone is out to make sure Halloween never comes to an end. And even Esther doesn’t want to be trapped in this night forever.

Everything I expected from these wonderful creators!

A young adult novel, I wish I had found when I was that age. I enjoyed the use of troops and unexpected twists. Daniel and Ed were brilliant realizations of legend. And in general and accurate portrayal of the difficulties of growing up. Thank you for this book.

The Halloween Moon

I enjoyed listening to this book. It was fun and what I was looking for in a Halloween book.

This was SO GOOD.

I feel like Joseph Fink has a great grasp of mixing mood with plot. This book is creepy, funny, exciting, and warm at it’s heart. Like his other work, it’s truly original.

The actor reading this is amazing too. Such great character work. Superb!

Exceptional!

I came across a review of this story while looking up podcasts. I was hooked instantly! This is a fabulously written, extremely entertaining and exquisitely read story! I'm going to listen again! PS, I'm 50 years old and I recommend The Halloween Moon to anyone of any age.

Amazing story!

I love Welcome To Nightvale, and if you like that, this story will not disappoint!

Perfect for Halloween Lovers

A very creative and unique Halloween read. Not sure I am the target demographic for this but I still enjoyed it during spooky season.

I wish I had this book when I was a kid

I can imagine myself reading this when I was in middle school. The story is fun and, at times, insightful. I have only one complaint: a green star trek uniform is for medical officers, not captains, lol!

omg

ok so originally I had only purchased this so my friend could listen to us but she said it was so good so I listed to it and oh my god it was actually so good. the story was amazing. ester is an amazing character and reminds me of myself when I was 13 and the narrator did so well I love all the voices he did for the character. definitely will listen to again at some point

Halloween folks will enjoy

This was a cute Halloween come-of-age story. Kevin R. Free's narrations are always the best!

Really enjoyable Halloween celebration

This was such an entertaining escape. Joseph Fink has given us the gift of a Halloween tale that is a fun, coming of age story and celebration of all the next things of Halloween...
