"It's kind of spooky here, isn't it?" An owl hooted somewhere nearby. Mandy looked around trying to place it..."~Chapter 3, The Old Oak Tree *Spend a night trick-or-treating with the rascally German shepherd and his human pals!* Rosco has never heard of Halloween before, and tonight, he'll be trick-or-treating with ten-year-old James, seven-year-old Mandy, and a group of their friends.
