Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Growing up, I heard about the horrible living conditions of poor farm residents and imagined the farms to be haunted places. Then, in 1996, while parading house to house on windy, moonlit All-Hallows' Eve with my neighborhood gang, an unusual visitation made my childhood imagination come true and left me with this rhythmic ghost story."We are in the groove, our pace set -- the honor of who rings the bell decided -- when the beat of something approaching grabs our attention and disrupts our Halloween pursuit...With a mysterious and suspenseful arc that concludes with a satisfying moment of curiosity, the book's tone transforms Halloween story time into spooky, page-turning fun.Historical back matter about poor farms gives POOR FARM MEADOW rare, educational value on the October reading list!POOR FARM MEADOW appeals to readers looking for picture books with: * Strong atmospheric imagery ("shrouded in mist...")* Suspenseful pacing* Kid-friendly characters ("a boat, a lion, a witch, a clown, a Dalmatian, and a tube of ...") * Mysterious rural settings
