Halloween on High Street by Deborah Frenkel

A Halloween full of heart!

Every year, Nell and Dash try to celebrate Halloween on their busy street, but it never quite works. There’s too much traffic, too many strangers and not enough fun.

But this year, they try something new. With a little courage and plenty of help, High Street might just become the spookiest street of all!

A warm-hearted tale about creativity, persistence and the magic that happens when everyone comes together.

About the Author:

Deborah is a Sydney-born, Melbourne-based writer who lives in an extremely messy but happy house full of books and half-painted walls. When she’s not writing for kids, she’s usually copywriting for TV commercials, billboards, and the labels of shampoo bottles. If she wasn’t a writer, she’d probably be an engineer, having spent her childhood (and some of her adulthood) making machines out of toilet rolls and string. Fairies and ferries are equally magical to her.

Laura Stitzel is a Melbourne-based illustrator, author and animator. Her work spans publishing and television, with credits in background art, character animation and storyboarding for studios producing content for Disney, PBS, Adult Swim, Fox Entertainment and Netflix. She is the author-illustrator of Moonlight Mums and Mr Mo Starts to Grow, and has illustrated numerous picture books and book covers.
