SPOOPS: The Little Spirits of Halloween is the upcoming children’s book debut from voice actor and writer AJ LoCascio, with art from illustrator Laurie A. Conley. The full-cover hardcover children’s book (and also the digital version) come to stores September 2, 2025 from Top Shelf. The story follows Holly Hollowell, a little girl obsessed with Halloween. The story is told in rhyming verse.
Here’s the official synopsis from Top Shelf:
Young Holly Hollowell loves Halloween more than anything, but her dentist parents are totally against any event that promotes tooth-rotting sweets. While other kids trick-or-treat, Holly watches sadly from her window…until the Spoops arrive to turn things around! With their magical help, Holly can finally show her parents the true spirit of Halloween: not the candy, but the joy of expressing yourself, unleashing your imagination, and letting your spooky side soar!
