Janelle knows exactly what she wants to be for Halloween, but she has no idea how she'll celebrate - her mummy has to work and can't take her to trick-or-treat in the suburbs, and daddy has to run his store like always. But listening to her friends and neighbours' stories of Halloweens past and present, helps Janelle realise that there may be a way to celebrate the fall-iday that lets her give as much as she gets.
