The story

Pip & Moss: A Halloween Adventure

On a moonlit October evening, Pip crosses the bridge to visit his cousin Moss in the forest. Glowing pumpkins lead them to a party filled with apple bobbing, s'mores, and stories that are only a little bit spooky.

When the jack-o'-lantern contest begins, Pip and Moss make two very different pumpkins.

Which one will the judge choose?

About the author

Hello from Maria.

Hi, I'm Maria. I've been a media educator for almost 20 years, teaching students from six years old all the way to sixty-five. Every one of those classrooms reminded me how much a good story matters, at any age. Pip & Moss: A Halloween Adventure is my first children's book, and I'm so happy to share it with you and the little readers in your life.

Don't forget: the best adventures are shared. From the old oak tree
