Editorial Reviews
Review
“Broadly comic digital illustrations follow the narration closely as the relentlessly Halloween-obsessed protagonist propels the story forward.” ―Publishers Weekly
“Sibling cooperation, parental recognition of hard work, and Sammy’s stick-to-itiveness give this book a little something extra beyond just a funny Halloween tale. Petrik’s digital illustrations have a Saturday morning-cartoon aesthetic.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“A fun story about a little boy in love with preparing for his family’s annual haunted house. Little ghosts and ghouls will love watching Sammy getting ready for next Halloween.” ―Story Monsters Ink
“Petrik’s pages are electrified with bold, vibrant colors and Sammy’s thrilling Halloween haunts that move, shiver, and shake…A terrific book to inspire Halloween fun and sibling harmony, Sammy’s Spooktacular Halloween would be a super (natural) selection for home and school libraries.” ―Celebrate Picture Books
“Parents will love the underlying lessons on team work and perseverance in problem-solving. The way the parents honor the children’s hard work will encourage this life lesson in families. This book should be in every classroom and family library for children aged three to ten, and I highly recommend it.” ―Book Review Crew

- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2024Amazing art and great story!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018My daughter and I are hardcore halloween fans, celebrating "Halloween season" like Clark Griswold for about 8 weeks instead of a single night and we LOVED this book! This wasn't just another awesome kid's book for us. It was a fun depiction of the shenanigans and magic halloween represents for some of us. Written in a way that is fun and engaging for kids, it is equally fun and magical for those of us who are just overgrown kids spending more of our time "adulting" than playing.
