Ninth in the Babymouse series, Babymouse can’t decide what
to wear for her Halloween costume. All
she knows is that it HAS to be scary!
She’s at the costume store and one of her so-called fat cat friends from
school tells her that girls have to be pretty for Halloween. It’s a RULE.
Only boys can be scary, he says.
Her friend Wilson is more sympathetic. And her mom tells her she can have a
Halloween party after trick-or-treating.
She mentions this at lunch the next day at school. She’s only planned on some close friends like
Wilson, Duckie, Georgie. Before she can
blink an eye the so-called fat cat friend invites himself and some other
unsavory characters. Soon things are
really getting out of hand.
Finally Halloween arrives and Babymouse is wearing a costume
she detests and goes trick-or-treating and finds herself sucking in again to
another RULE. The so-called fat cat friend
insists on toilet papering a neighbor’s house.
The fat cat determines that it’s
not called trick-or-treating for nothing and begins handing out raw eggs to be
thrown at people’s houses. Babymouse
finally tells the group it’s time to go to her house for the party. That’s when fat cat must have more candy and
snatches and grabs a couple kids’ candy sacks.
Babymouse has had quite enough of this character’s antics
and takes matters into her own hands.
Redemption prevails and Babymouse settles the score once and for all. She’s come up with some RULES of her own!
