This is a sequel and it is just as delightful and fun as the first. I loved the continuation of the story. Eve is a great character making tough decisions. A definite must for middle grade readers.

Truly a stunning addition to The Pumpkin Princess and the Forever Night. Banbury continues creating a world of idyllic Halloween in which anything is possible. The character relationships are strong as ever, and we see them expanded on throughout the book. Several questions from the last book are answered in ways that allow Eve to show her strengths in facing her trauma, and even go as far as to explain some of it. Fan favorites, such as Scrags and Ellie, return alongside new wholesome friends. This continuation of the Pumpkin Princess series focuses less on familial relationships and more on Eve's friendships than the last book, but it is a cozy read nonetheless. Absolute marvelous job that could not be done by anyone other than Mr. Banbury himself.

HEAVILY recommend for teachers who want some adoption representation in their bookshelf.
