Henry Hopkins and the Horrible Halloween Happening
(2015)(The third book in the Teen Angels series)
A Story by Wendy Markham
Never before published, HENRY HOPKINS AND THE HORRIBLE HALLOWEEN HAPPENING is New York Times bestseller Wendy Corsi Staub's first middle grade novel in two decades, and a new entry in her whimsical middle grade series about a quirky quartet of Teen Angels who must earn their wings by helping regular kids wrestle earthly problems. Previous titles were MITZI MALLOY AND THE ANYTHING-BUT-HEAVENLY SUMMER and BRITTANY BUTTERFIELD AND THE BACK-TO-SCHOOL BLUES. Here, we meet twelve year-old Henry Hopkins, whose life is hardly perfect even before his flaky single mom decides to marry a laid back musician named Shep - at a Halloween costume wedding. Fed up, and wondering about the father he never knew, Henry goes to the library to research old birth records. There, a self-assured teenager named Bryan promises to help him unravel the truth about his dad. When Henry's mother drops a bombshell that only deepens the mystery, Henry knows that only one person can set the record straight. But suddenly, Bryan is nowhere to be found.
