Best Halloween Books #3
"A fast-moving,
eerie...tale set on Halloween night. Eight costumed boys running to meet
their friend Pipkin at the haunted house outside town encounter instead
the huge and cadaverous Mr. Moundshroud. As Pipkin scrambles to join
them, he is swept away by a dark Something, and Moundshroud leads the
boys on the tail of a kite through time and space to search the past for
their friend and the meaning of Halloween. After witnessing a funeral
procession in ancient Egypt, cavemen discovering fire, Druid rites, the
persecution of witches in the Dark Ages, and the gargoyles of Notre
Dame, they catch up with the elusive Pipkin in the catacombs of Mexico,
where each boy gives one year from the end of his life to save Pipkin's.
Enhanced by appropriately haunting black-and-white drawings."—Booklist (Goodreads)

mi-ar place o carte ca asta sa o citesc in seara de Halloween :)
Am ramas fără cuvinte . Coperta e absolut magnifică
interesanta descrierea
coperta e prea ciudata..
Interesant..perfecta pentru seara de Halloween :x
nu prea imi plac cartile horror, ma sperii cam repede
mie nu-mi plac filmele horror! Alea ma sperie... ca au si imagini! :))=))
Pare foarte interesanta, cu siguranta mi-ar placea sa o citesc mai ales ca implica si calatorii in timp.
Cea mai amizanta fiinta de pe coperta mi-se pare scheletul acela nu sunteti de acord cu mine?
Nu prea e amuzant scheletul...ingenios realizat, da, insa mai degraba de groaza.
Nici nu a trebuit sa citesc descrierea, coperta spune tot!
