A Halloween Writers Challenge

Write a story featuring your young main character, and maybe her or his friends, going trick or treating, or to a party, and wearing costumes that show the protagonist and friends "dressing up" as literary characters. In the story include a reason why the protagonist (and maybe each friend) chose that literary character, and what adventures or consequences happen at the party, or while trick or treating, because of those choices. [This challenge is a variation, for children's writers, of a commentary in a newsletter email sent by powells.com - an online book store]
