Wally Hatford usually likes to stay completely out of the rivalry between his brothers and the three Malloy sisters. However, Halloween really brings out the wickedness in people, making him want to scare the bejeezus out of the girls, or at least his biggest enemy of all, Caroline Malloy. That's when he decides to tell Caroline about the abaguchie, a strange, mythical creature that creeps in the night around town eating cats, dogs, and even little girls. How far will the boys go to be the winner of this trick? Is there a possibility the abaguchie might even be real, patrolling outside the Hatford's house?
That is only the beginning of more tricks played between the rivalry siblings to keep you and your young reader turning the pages. Phyllis Reynolds Naylor gives you easy, quick chapters full of sub-plots your child can relate to. This is surely to be a favorite with boys, knowing how they like to get under girls' skin. If they can't do it, they can read about the Hatford's! 147 Pages
