Lizzie Bat, still grieving the loss of her father and at odds with her mother, plans to rob the town's Halloween store the night of October 31st, and intends to use the money to escape to a new life. And, her friends are all too eager to help. Owl, best friend and confidant. If Lizzie Bat's heart aches for her father, then Owl's heart aches for Lizzie Bat. Spider, brave and loyal, had his secrets, and he kept them. Kat, adored, she was the newest member of the group and the object of Lizzie Bat's affections. But their scheme threatens to tear the friends apart as they find themselves in the path of supernatural forces and monstrous local legends: haunted houses; doppelgängers; grave robbing; ghosts and vampires; monsters in the river and, even worse, monsters in the home. October is a town that loves Halloween but no one realizes that their whole world is about to become Halloween forever.
