Lesley Parr, our Patron of Reading, has put together a list of Halloween-ish books for our pupils.
EYFS:

You already know why I love this book! So accessible and just a wonderful, rich, clever story…beautifully illustrated.
Ten Delicious Teachers

Hilarious!

One for a laugh!

So cute!
KEY STAGE 1:
Diary of an Accidental Witch: Stage Fright
https://littletiger.co.uk/product/diary-of-an-accidental-witch-stage-fright
This is the latest in the series and is as full of all the laughs and fun illustrations as the others. Great for children who can’t handle page after page of words.
The Dark
https://www.pagesofhackney.co.uk/webshop/product/the-dark-lemony-snicket/
I love the way this portrays the age-old fear of the dark…
How to Make Friends with a Ghost
https://www.andersenpress.co.uk/books/how-to-make-friends-with-a-ghost/
Sweet and original with lovely illustrations.
KEY STAGE 2:
The Vanishing of Aveline Jones
https://usborne.com/gb/the-vanishing-of-aveline-jones-9781474972161
The third in this genuinely spooky series.
Freeze
https://www.barringtonstoke.co.uk/books/freeze/
Another genuinely creepy book – Barrington Stoke too, so an accessible read.
Thornhill
https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781626726543/thornhill
One of my favourite ever books. Chilling, clever and powerful.
