Disney's New York Times best-selling A Twisted Tale series meets perennial fan-favorite The Nightmare Before Christmas, asking
"What if Sally discovered Christmas Town instead of Jack?"
Sally has mostly loved her creepy hometown of Halloween Town. But lately, she can't help but want something more. In a place full of the frightening, you'd think living in the shadows wouldn't feel so . . . isolating. She knows she could do so much more if she wasn't always stuck in the lab of her creator, Dr. Finkelstein. Soon Sally is surprised to learn that the Pumpkin King, Jack, is longing for a change of his own. Determined to find a solution for them both, Sally follows a vision that could be the key to changing their fates.
But the more time Sally spends in the strange, jolly land of Christmas Town, the more suspicious she grows of the seemingly idyllic winter wonderland. What is lurking behind those dancing sugar plums? And what exactly does it mean to be put on the Naughty List? Will Sally be able to save the best of both towns—before it's too late?

      Gr 7 Up-The latest installment in the bestselling "A Twisted Tale" series reimagines The Nightmare Before Christmas and offers the question: What if Sally was the one who discovered Christmas Town? Although Sally loves living in Halloween Town, she dreams of escaping from Doctor Finkelstein's clutches and experiencing something different and new. In the letdown after Halloween, Sally learns that Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King himself, is also longing for more. After following Jack's ghost dog Zero into Christmas Town, Sally explores the bright and shiny new land. Though she's partial to the dark and dreary creepiness of Halloween Town, she finds herself drawn to the holiday cheer that seems to flow through every colorful string of lights in Christmas Town. But the more she learns about the jolly holiday, the more she wonders if there might be something lurking beneath the snow-covered surface. As Sally uncovers the town's dark secrets, she risks putting herself and her friends in danger to save Christmas Town. Nightmare fans will be delighted to revisit the familiar spooky streets of Halloween Town while also getting a deeper look into the magic of Christmas Town, and fans new and old will savor spending more time with beloved character Sally. VERDICT A twisted reimagining that's sure to thrill readers.-Elizabeth Blake
