Jack O'Lantern's shy younger brother, Jeff, finds his own way to shine on Halloween
You all know Jack O'Lantern, with his wild eyes and crooked teeth. He's the best on the block at keeping the trick-or-treaters on Irving Street from taking more than one piece of Halloween candy. But have you met his little brother, Jeff?
Jeff O'Lantern has kind eyes and a friendly smile, and he's a little shy. Unlike his big brother, he's not very good at scaring away overeager trick-or-treaters. Even his boo sounds sweet rather than spooky. But he's going to keep trying to live up to the O'Lantern name and make his brother proud.
Despite Jeff's best efforts, the Halloween treats are going too quickly, and it doesn't seem like there will be enough for everyone. Join Jeff as he embarks on his pumpkin hero's journey to save the candy bowl, help out a new friend, and uncover his true talents along the way.
In this funny and charming Halloween tale, can Jeff O'Lantern finally get out of the shadow of his more confident sibling and find his own way to shine?
