Moving schools, states, and time zones would be bad enough, but Mom's hometown is Samhain, a small and ridiculously kitschy place where \u003ci\u003eevery\u003c\/i\u003e day is Halloween. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCaleb is not a fan of Halloween when it only happens once a year, so Halloween-obsessed Samhain is really not the place for him. How is he supposed to cope with kids wearing costumes to school \u003ci\u003eevery single day\u003c\/i\u003e? And how about the fact that the mayor is so committed to the bit that City Hall is only open from sundown to sunup to accommodate his so-called vampirism? Sure enough, Caleb becomes an outcast at school for refusing to play along with the spooky tradition like the other sixth graders. Luckily, he manages to find a friend in fellow misfit Tai, and just in time, because things are getting weird in Samhain...or make that weird\u003ci\u003eer\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut there's no way the mayor is an \u003ci\u003eactual\u003c\/i\u003e vampire, and their teacher absolutely cannot \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e be a werewolf--right? Caleb discovers Samhain is so much stranger than he ever could have imagined. As one of the only people who realizes what's happening, can he save a town that doesn't want saving?\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 8.4 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 06, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751460700448,"sku":"9781665946575","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7f9a14807a10a21ecaa8fa1e1beb4647.webp?v=1779973668","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/a-bite-above-the-rest-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
