22 AR Books with a Halloween Theme for 4th & 5th Grade


All the books listed below have a Halloween Theme to them. None of them are about the history, traditions or customs of Halloween. There are certainly plenty of those books available to read, but honestly I think they pack too much stuff in them for a 1/2 point book and my kids would rather read a story than have a ton of facts to learn about.

No Such Thing As Ghosts by Ursula Vernon (2pts)
