Ready, Freddy! #8: Halloween Fraidy-Cat

Everyone's favorite first grader is back in a Halloween adventure!

Freddy Thresher knows that goblins aren’t real, and that haunted houses aren’t really haunted. Or are they?Freddy loves Halloween, but even a scary mask can send chills up his spine. If Freddy can’t overcome his fears before Chloe’s big Halloween party, he’ll look like a fraidy-cat in front of the whole class!

Meet Freddy Thresher, a boy who has a nose for trouble and a last name that's made him an expert on sharks. You can learn more about sharks, too, in Freddy's Shark Journal at the back of the book. And see if you can find the word "fin" hidden in every picture!

With content, humor, characters, and vocabulary that are perfect for the chapter-book reader--it's time to get ready for Freddy!
