review 1: My daughter and I both read this magical tale of friendship, family and discovery. Anne Parson and Halloween Spavento remind us of our own abilities to bring out the best in those around us. Anne's integrity and unfailing friendship is admirable throughout the story. The Spavento's possess just the right amount of magic, surprise and quirkiness to make any reader want to spend an afternoon at their house. And while this story is partly about Halloween, it is also so much more than a story that fits into the fall season.As a middle school teacher, I understand how much kids, tweens and teens need opportunities to explore their personal identities by trying on different roles and attitudes. Vicariously through Anne and Halloween, readers have a chance to test out what it's l... moreike to face a bully, stand up for what you believe in and discover the magic of true friendship.SAVING HALLOWEEN is a delightful read!
review 2: When Anne, tormented by school bullies, finds a new friend, she is welcomed into the Spavento family. Anne finds a family different from her own rigid parents who are involved so much in their own careers leaves her with strict schedules, tutors and house servants. the Spavento family is considered strange by the town folk. When Anne finds out their secret, will the girls' friendship end? Yes this is a Halloween story, but it is also the story of the struggle teen age girls have to fit in with the norm. Author, Lisa Ard has a great imagination. I look forward to reading more of her books. less
