Halloween

Season

Halloween Holiday fun!

Halloween is one of our most favorite times of year. A chance for kids, parents and teachers to become someone (or something else) and go on an adventure of exploration and candy treasure hunting.

It's also a time to face your fears and find your spooky happy place.

That's why we created the Scaredy Bat series. Vampire Ellie Spark must face her fears to chase her dream of becoming the greatest detective in the world like her hero Detective Hailey Haddie.

Check out Scaredy Bat and the other magical series in the Code Pineapple universe below.
