Reach for this book when your child feels like the odd one out or is struggling to find their place in a new social group. It is the perfect choice for children who feel different from their peers and need to see that 'different' is often just a matter of perspective. The story follows Kelly Comet as he heads to what he thinks is a standard Halloween costume party, only to find himself in a truly alien environment. While it begins with the tension of being the only one who didn't get the memo, the story transforms into a delightful science fiction twist. It addresses themes of belonging and curiosity through a spooky, seasonal lens. This 1983 classic remains a favorite for its ability to normalize being an outsider and for its clever, mind-bending ending that encourages kids to look at the world from another point of view.
