Everyone’s favorite first grader, Junie B. Jones, has a problem. She’s a bit afraid of Halloween! What if witches and monsters are really real? What if bats really nest in your hair? And what exactly IS candy corn? But of course, Junie B. has a plan to win all the games and prizes at the school carnival, hoping that will give her the courage she needs. Will she conquer her fears and enjoy Halloween?
