The Best Halloween Ever
The Best Halloween Ever | Barbara Robinson
21 posts | 13 read | 3 to read
The Herdmans plus Halloween have always spelled disaster. Every year these six kids -- the worst in the history of Woodrow Wilson School, and possibly even the world -- wreak havoc on the whole town. They steal candy, spray-paint kids, and take anything that's not nailed down. Now the mayor has had it. He's decided to cancel Halloween. There won't be any Herdmans to contend with this year, but there won't be any candy, either. And what's Halloween without candy? And without trick-or-treating? The Herdmans manage to turn the worst Halloween ever into the best Halloween ever in this uproarious sequel to The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

I thought I was finally going to listen to the sequel of one of my fave books. Then, thanks to GR, I realized I listened to this in 2020. Ooops! I remembered nothing so listened again. Still not enough Herdmans in this one but a cute story & the kids win instead of the parents. #frightclub #hauntedshelf #halloween

More fun in the little community overrun with Herdman kids.

@Gissy I love it! I‘ve only read one book by this author and I‘m excited to give these both a try. Thank you so much for all the extras! The book sleeve is perfect and I can‘t wait to start snacking.

Happy Halloween!

A soft pick for a cute Halloween story & quick read yesterday for #Scarathlon2022 Although I have not read the preceding books about the terrible Herdmans, tge local family of delinquents & their mischief, it was easy to follow & made me laugh a couple of times. There were also 69 words from #ScarathlonWordSearch for an extra 690 points (to the 26 already) for #TeamMonsterMash 👻🎃🧟🧟‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️

Read for the various readathons listed below ⬇️

Maybe I was confused because this was the 3rd book in the series, but I had no idea who was telling this story. The kids pull a prank and the mayor cancels Halloween. (Does a mayor even have that power?)

Instead Halloween is going to be a party at the school but NO candy! And then there are hijinks at the Halloween party.

The kids are all upset when they find out #Trick or Treating is cancelled. But they're in for a fun surprise that none of them expected.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Looks cute! 🎃🧡 2y
Eggs Are the Herdman kids in this one? 👏🏻👏🏻 2y
Addison_Reads @Eggs Yes, they are. They don't get into as much mischief in this one though, but they are the reason Trick or Treating gets cancelled. It's a fun read. 2y
Eggs @Addison_Reads yay! I‘ll have to read it😄 2y

This was another fun and cute tale by Robinson. However, it pales quite a bit in comparison to the Best Christmas Pageant Ever. My complaint? It started slowly and there wasn‘t enough time with those wild Herdman children! Similar to Halloween Ends needing more Michael Myers, this needed more Herdman hi-jinx. The ending was fun and made up for it though! 3.5/5

I did my annual read of this wonderfully fun book as an audiobook this year and it made me feel like I was in grade school again with the teacher reading to us after recess. 💚

I love all the Herdman books and this is a perfect read to get you into the spirit of Halloween.

Completed my first #Bingo read while participating in #LittenListen. I knew the voice before I read that it was narrated by Elaine Stritch. Plus, this should be a Halloween read for #Scarathlon. @aperfectmjk @StayCurious

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is one of my favorite childhood books. For some reason, I don‘t think I ever read the other 2 Herdman books. In this one, the mayor cancels Halloween because of the Herdmans, so the school hosts Halloween. There‘s a lot of anxiety from the kids about whether the Herdmans will attend. I don‘t think this one has enough Herdmans in it, which means it has less humor & heart. #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick 26 pts

Can you really call it a holiday without the Herdmans? 😀 I love these books and I love the rambunctious family of kids at the center of them. As always people don't realize that there's more to the Herdman's than just causing trouble and with Halloween cancelled, everyone's in for a big surprise from this family of trouble makers.

I just had to read this after reading the other two in the series. It‘s not as good as the others imo, but still funny to see what shenanigans the crazy Herdmans get up to. 4⭐️

MallenNC I‘ve never heard of this one! I loved the first book as a kid. 5y
JenlovesJT47 @MallenNC the Christmas one is the best, and I also really like the second one! 5y
MallenNC @JenlovesJT47 I need to check that one out 5y

A fairly disappointing sequel to The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (which might not be such a letdown if the original hadn‘t been so great).

Halloween has been canceled! There will be a party at the elementary school, but no trick-or-treat and NO CANDY! Everyone is upset, and the Herdmans are to blame, as usual. But they may just be the secret to turning this Halloween party around...

LibrarianRyan I agree the best XMas is much better. There is actually one in between. 5y
ravenlee @LibrarianRyan I think I read that many years ago, but I don‘t own it like the other two. I wish she hadn‘t made it a series, or that she hadn‘t waited so long to do it. Maybe they‘d be better. (edited) 5y
LibrarianRyan @ravenlee that I can agree with. Christmas just has so much heart. 5y

Although not as great as The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, this entry in the misadventures of the Herdmans is still a lot of fun. Like any good Halloween book, it‘s full of tricks and candy-galore!

This sweet #Halloween novel was a cute read. All the kids are disappointed when Halloween trick-or-treating is cancelled to stop the Herdmans from causing havoc. Will Halloween go without incident this year? Or will the Herdmans still find a way to create chaos? While it's not as amazing as The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, it was still a fun book with a sweet ending. It's a nice non-scary Halloween novel for younger readers.

So I pick the Herdman's as the best kids. They are rough but they have a love of family and do not let the woes in life get them down. #octphotochallenge #bestkids
