From award-winning actress Aubrey Plaza and writer Dan Murphy comes the story of a feisty wannabe bruja and the kooky witch she helps to throw the best Halloween party of the season!

Luna Lopez wants to be a witch.

Pheenie the witch wants to throw a Halloween party.

Together this unlikely pair strikes a deal: If Luna helps her pull off the best, most spectacular soiree in the neighborhood, Pheenie will teach her the secrets to her potions and spells.

There’s only one problem: Getting this party on track is harder than Luna expected. She’ll have to curb every one of the frazzled witch’s creepy, crawly instincts to make sure the evening is full of both tricks and treats . . . and not a festive flop!

From goblins and ghouls to kids and cats, all are invited to party in this Halloween celebration from award-winning actress and producer Aubrey Plaza and co-author Dan Murphy.
Aubrey Plaza, originally from Delaware, is best known for her role as April Ludgate on Parks and Recreation. She has produced and starred in several films, as well as performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York. She currently lives in California and is known to dress up like a witch every Christmas.

Dan Murphy is a writer and producer who lives in Los Angeles, California. Originally from Delaware, he is a graduate of the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and has been creative partners with Aubrey for over fifteen years.

Hannah Peck is an author and illustrator based in East London. Storytelling is central to her work, whether drawing from folklore and fairy tales or building detailed worlds in her children’s books. Hannah’s clients include Penguin, Faber, Bloomsbury, Audible, and more.
