HarperCollins claims that Zara, the protagonist of the novel, and her friends think a Halloween party at their elementary school is "a little too spooky." The description further reads:
"The vibes are so scary that Zara and the younger kids worry they won't be able to have fun.. Will the students—big and small—learn to work together to throw the perfect party?"
Zara and the younger kids are concerned that the eerie atmosphere would keep them from enjoying themselves. Now, to get past their concerns, the young characters must cooperate. The narrative talks about whether students of all ages can work together to create the ideal setting for a party.
Meanwhile, LeBron's announcement coincides with his concern regarding his future with the L.A. Lakers.
A chilling pause in LeBron James’ legendary run as the King faces his spookiest season yet
LeBron James has published four children's books as of yet. His first book, "I Promise," was published in 2020. He went on to write "We Are Family" in 2021 and "I Am More Than" in 2024. His earlier writings have emphasized family values and empowerment.
Despite the NBA season being in full gear, James, who considers Halloween to be his favorite holiday, is well-known for dressing up. Previously, the NBA's all-time top scorer has dressed up as Pennywise, Beetlejuice, Freddy Krueger, and a number of other well-known fictional characters, though he kept things simple last year with a Ghostface mask from the "Scream" films.
However, this year, James will miss Halloween due to his injury for the first time in his 23 NBA seasons. Due to sciatica, the legend has not yet played this season. Nonetheless, he and the Lakers are reportedly optimistic about a mid-November return.
