Dark, rhythmic prose makes Poor Farm Meadow a gentle ghost story with spine‑tingling suspense and a touch of colonial history. It is a spooky but not scary atmospheric children’s book, featuring hand‑painted, moonlit collage that casts shadows over the new neighborhood and its diverse gang of six. Dressed up as a mystery for young readers, it pulls a boat, a lion, a witch, a clown, a Dalmatian, and a tube of toothpaste toward a pulsing moment of stranger danger—and leaves them forever curious. A true Halloween‑night adventure.

A once‑in‑a‑generation illustrated ghost story to be read by flashlight under the covers, shared annually at the community pumpkin glow, added to classroom seasonal children’s book lists, and passed down!
