The Best Halloween Ever (2010)
“So it was possible (this was Charlie’s idea) that they wouldn’t know about Halloween being at school and nowhere else.
“They’ll go out,” he said, “just the way they always do, looking for kids they can shove around and candy they can steal, and there won’t be any! No kids, no candy! They won’t know what happened. They’ll go crazy!”
This made a great picture—all the Herdmans running up and down the empty streets, getting more and more frustrated, bumping into each other, maybe even running into ...trees or parked cars—but you knew it would never happen.
Besides, the Herdmans didn’t have to read the blackboard to know all about the Woodrow Wilson Halloween. There were signs about it everywhere; all the first-graders had take-home notes pinned to them that said, There will be no community Halloween. Come with your family to Woodrow Wilson School, 7 o’clock, Halloween night; and almost every day Alice showed up with a new extra credit report about owls or bats or bonfires till Mrs.MoreLess
