Summary: A book to read every year.
Review: On October 31 of every year since I've been 8, I have picked up the Halloween Tree and read it cover to cover. I never tire of the language or the story, and it has the same magic now that it did when I was 8.

Summary: A Halloween adventure
Review: Some of Ray Bradbury's stories display a fascination with the misunderstood macabre, an interpretation of darkness from the eyes of a child. This book is one of those contrasts in dark and light, hope amongst doom. The spindly and spooky Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud whisks these young boys away on a strange and lovely Halloween adventure that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A poetic treat for those who love Halloween.
Review: The Halloween Tree has captivated me since my first reading of this work when I was only nine years old. (That was 14 years ago for those of you who are wondering.) The book was a gift from my father, and little did he know at the time, that he gave me an example of some of the finest writing I have had the opportuniy to read, and a source of inspriation for my own writing. Ray Bradbury's command of the Englih language creates poetry within prose. The story is descriptive and lyrical, the characters vibrant and fantastic (especially Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud, but you'll just have to read the book to find out who he is). I wish you as many happy readings of the Halloween Tree as I have had over the years.

Summary: The Halloween Tree
Review: The Halloween Tree is an exiting book because it tells about the adventures of Halloween. There are nine boys that go out on a search of the past of Halloween. They meet a mysterious man named Moundshroud. He takes them to observe the many differnt ways that people celebrate All Hallow's Eve or as we know it Halloween. I would suggest this book to anyone that likes to read about adventures.

Summary: A never-ending classic
Review: The only book I have ever read a dozen times and can still enjoy from cover to cover. I feel honored to be able to share it with my daughter who is nine this year (the age I was when I first read it). I don't beleive the reader is ever disappointed -- the first time through or the twentieth.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Trick or Treat?
Review: This is a great book to read at Halloween time, for young and old alike. It captures the feeling of being a kid in a small town on Halloween and going trick or treating. Of course, the trick and the treat is that we are taken back through time to see how Halloween began: from ancient Egypt, through the Celtic Samhain, up to Bradbury's day. For anyone to whom Halloween is a special time of year, this is a book to read.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply breathtaking
Review: This is my favourite children's book of all time! Bradbury's riveting tale of a Halloween in which a group of boys set off on a quest to rescue their friend in a netherworld of time travel and ancient ritual is simply breathtakingly beautiful.

Mr. Bradbury's poignant, yet reassuring vision of death and what it ultimately means in the long ribbon of time will stay with me always. Surely that is why writers write.
