Calendar Mysteries November Night.
Tell us about the book.
It’s kind of about fall, and they’re scared because there’s a big dog and a tree, and one guy left his money by it. There’s a spot he had his money in the backyard. The neighbor just moved in there, and they were making a spaceship. The kids didn’t know what they were making, so they wanted to get into the backyard to get the money, but they couldn’t because the dog was scaring them.
Is it a chapter book?
It’s kind of a chapter book, but it’s also a picture book because it has some pictures. It’s 67 pages.
