Every year in the Jordan-Jerome household, we throw an all-day Halloween Extravaganza where we eat food, drink alcohol and watch a marathon of Halloween movies.

The Cromwell kids know nothing about magic or their inherent roots. BUT grandma Cromwell may change all that. The one day she is able to travel to the mortal world is Halloween, she comes to visit because a dark force is taking over Halloweentown and she needs another Cromwell to help defeat it. Of course mom Cromwell refuses, but the Cromwell kids sneak on the bus back to Halloweentown to figure it all out. It is a delightful story with, warlocks and goblins, skeletons and sister magic!
