Enrolling herself into Mortimer Potts Elementary School without her parents finding out won't be easy, but Bluebell Skinks has a plan. In just three short weeks, she will prove to the world that a wheelchair kid can cause just as much chaos as a regular kid, and have a blast doing it. With the help from her new friend, Frederick "French" Frye and advice from her sensible sister, Bonnie, Bluebell turns the school upside down by orchestrating an energetic student election, a frenzied disability day, and an extraordinary science presentation. Principal Grimble and Nurse Krutsky become caught up in the events with hilarious results, while Bluebell's uniquely talented classmates help her stay one step ahead of Hoops Russell, the school's star basketball player who believes Bluebell is faking her disability. After Hoops sets out on a mission to discredit her, what happens next will surprise everyone, especially Bluebell.

Plinky Witch, a spunky little character with striped stockings and a tall hat, has a grand idea. What if Halloween could be celebrated every night instead of only once a year? The five other members of the Happy Broomsticks Club agree. Dressed in costumes, (the statue of liberty, a ghost, astronaut, princess, bumblebee, and a giant apple) they attempt to go trick or treating. Unfortunately, it is still September and nobody in town is prepared for Halloween. After that first disappointing night, they come up with a clever plan to convince the townspeople to fill their goody bags with candy every night thereafter. This success continues night after night. After several weeks of trick or treating, they realize that a "squash or carrot would taste pretty good right now." They eventually come to the conclusion that celebrating Halloween continuously is "too much of a good thing." The story ends with the group relaxing with mugs of vegetable soup and magical music, while not realizing there are 'trick or treaters' at the door. The date on the calendar says October 31st- "And that's the real Halloween." The charming illustrations are loaded with humorous details. Even though each of the witches is dressed in black, their outfits are unique and reflect their personal style. The cats and blackbirds add to the fun by donning costumes and appear in different scenes throughout the book. 32 pages
