Little Ella and the Halloween Mystery

This blog post is part of our series on books about Little Free Libraries.

Little Ella and the Halloween Mystery by Maggie Hayes

Something strange is happening at the Free Little Library on Elk Stone Pond...

October has arrived, and Little Ella can hardly wait for Halloween. There are costumes to make, candy to collect, and, of course, her favorite Halloween stories to read.

Except something isn’t quite right.

One by one, Ella’s favorite books are disappearing from the little library.

Where are they going?

Who keeps taking them?

And what was that shadow she saw out of the corner of her eye?

When Halloween arrives, an unexpected guide named Luna may be just what Ella needs to finally solve the mystery.

Follow the clues through the colorful autumn woods in a warm and whimsical Halloween adventure about curiosity, kindness, friendship, and the magic of sharing a favorite story.

With a mystery that’s fun rather than frightening, Little Ella and the Halloween Mystery is a cozy fall read-aloud for little readers who love Halloween, animals, books, and just enough suspense to keep them guessing.
