Halloween is one of the holidays children love the best. It is a magical holiday that is full of fantasy. What could be better than ending this special time of year with a Halloween story before bedtime. A Halloween Dream is about a young boy playing detective in search of the witch that allegedly lives down the street from him. The boy stakes out the witch's house, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. The boy sets off in pursuit of the witch by deducing all the aspects and qualities a witch is supposed to possess, such as flying on a broom, having a black cat, and casting evil spells. By the end of the tale, the boy concludes his investigation concerning the witch.A twist at the end of the story can be seen, leaving the children guessing if the witch exists or is just a dream.
