The Best Halloween Ever by Barbara Robinson

                                                                         by H.K.


    Every year of Halloween, the 6 annoying Herdmans steal candy from kids. The Herdmans also spray- paint the kids. The Hermans plan to steal everything from everyone. Even from the kid's parents. The 6 Hermans promise to do the same thing this year to the school and outside the school until there mayor cancels Halloween. The Hermans wish the mayor would cancel Halloween because the Hermans hate Halloween. The mayor cancels Halloween the next day and that means to the kids no candy and no fun. Just work, work, work all day at school. No recess either. At their school they have no recess unless if it is a special day or a birthday day.
     One day when a boy named Charlie passed by the mayor's office, Charlie saw a big, deep, dark hole. He went inside the office. There was no one in the office. He took a sneek peek inside the hole and when they looked inside there was 10 big bags full of............. candy!!!!
     I loved this book because this book was about Halloween and I love Halloween.
  I would recommend this book to people who love Halloween.
