Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of peer pressure or the silent stress of financial differences at school. Nick is a young entrepreneur with a secret: he hustles not for greed, but to help his hardworking single mother pay the bills. When he and his quirky friend Burger find a crashed van full of magical Halloween costumes, they think their money troubles are over, but they soon discover that shortcuts often come with a price. It is a perfect choice for kids who feel they do not quite fit in with the wealthy crowd or who struggle with the ethics of 'doing the wrong thing for the right reason.' While the story is full of humor and supernatural adventure, it deeply explores the nuances of integrity and the true value of friendship.
