Sometimes life isn't fair for Mabel Chase. Like for instance she isn't allowed to go Trick or Treating on HALLOWEEN because she has to visit a relative instead. And even though there's a monster living under her bed, her parents STILL won't let her have a brand-new high-up bunk bed which wouldn't have ANY hiding spots for monsters. And NO-ONE at school believes her when she spots aliens in the playground. But none of that matters in the end ... because Mabel is still MAGNIFICENT. But none of that matters in the end ... because Mabel is still MAGNIFICENT.

Magnificent Mabel and the Very Important Witch

2I’ll tell you what is nearly as good as Christmas. Halloween, that’s what.

At Halloween you get to carve a pumpkin and you can buy face paint that looks like blood.

3At Halloween, you don’t even have to say please when you want sweets. You just knock on people’s doors and say “Trick or Treat” in a loud voice because on Halloween it’s good to be loud. (Except you still have to say thank you when people give you sweets, otherwise you might have to go home early.)

All year long, I count down 4the days to Halloween.

Like for instance I love planning what I am going to wear.

I love getting my orange Trick or Treat pot ready.

I love practising my face paint when Mum isn’t keeping an eye on her make-up bag. 5

6Last week on Monday I was so happy because it was finally Halloween.

At school everyone in my class was talking about it and SOME people were quite boasty.

Sophie Simpson told me that her dad had bought her a witch outfit in a shop and it cost A LOT of money because it came with a real broomstick that could FLY. 7

Edward Silitoe said he had the best skeleton costume ever because his mum had painted skeleton bones on a black leotard and leggings and all the bones were in the right place because his mum is a doctor.

8Elsa Kavinsky said she had twenty-four pumpkins outside her house.
