An African-American family is experiencing a pretty bad hurricane which totally destroyed their house. The story seems to take place on a lonely island with palm trees and lots of nature. Although they tried to prepare for this heavy thunderstorm, their house was blown away. Though, when the second part of the hurricane arrived, they could just tie themselves to palm trees in order to be not blown away. Very dramatic and unrealistic depiction of a hurricane....

I really like the book about the hurricane in a country we don't know, but with beaches and coconuts definitely. It explains how people have to prepare for the hurricane and never give up to restore their houses afterwards. They seem as if it were normal for them to be just glad that they have survived and continue their life, while rebuilding their house.

Faraday Folsum, all dressed up (as a ghost) for the Halloween party at the artichoke farm, instead finds himself walking into the woods, in pursuit of two witches he sees flying in that direction. Imagine his surprise when he stumbles upon another kind of Halloween party - one with gremlins, and witches, and ogres! When Faraday is discovered, in the course of a ghoulish game of hide-and-seek, he finds himself in danger of being added to the soup! Can he talk, or rhyme (as the case may be), his way out of this...?

Published in 1974, Halloween Party was a collaborative effort between husband-and-wife team Lonzo Anderson, who contributed the text, and Adrienne Adams, who created the artwork. The latter - whose other Halloween titles, A Woggle of Witches and A Halloween Happening, have been so visually appealing - is the reason I sought it out. I love Adams' work, and this one did not disappoint me, having all the unearthly charm I have come to expect from her witchy titles. The story was also very engaging, although a little more frightening than some of Adams' own. All in all, a pleasant little tale for Halloween time! I may have to hunt down more of this couple's joint endeavors.

Started off good, but quickly bogs down - never finished
