Melvin P. Thorpe: Double Trouble Halloween

Could Melvin's twin friends really be in two places at once, or is something spookier going on?

But when identical twins Andrea and Angelica start appearing in two places at the same time, whispers of witches, ghosts, and a very clever prank begin spreading fast.

With trick-or-treat night closing in, Melvin puts his detective skills to the test to uncover what's really happening before the Halloween fun turns into double trouble.
