Book excerpt: It's the day before Halloween, and goblins, princesses, and Jedi have taken over the school. Every classroom is out of control as fifth-grade monsters pretend to eat a group of younger students and princesses hide in the bathroom to compare costumes. The teachers are fighting to maintain control, but the pre-Halloween celebrations aren't the worst of it. On Halloween Day, there is the annual student parade where students dress up, and ghosts, ghouls, fairies, and pirates take over the school completely. It's mayhem across the school this year, and the teachers are in for the biggest trick-or-treat of their careers.
