Some birthday invitations are too magical to ignore.
Just before midnight, a glowing invitation taps at Lila's bedroom window.
There's a party tonight.
At an enormous old mansion.
And the birthday boy is a ghost!
Lila and Sam soon discover a ballroom filled with floating balloons, dancing ghosts, magical teacups and the biggest birthday cake they've ever seen.
There's only one problem.
After 112 birthdays, Mr. Candlewick has never blown out his candles because he doesn't know what to wish for.
Can Lila and Sam help him discover the one birthday wish worth waiting more than a hundred years for?
The Midnight Birthday Party is a magical and heartwarming picture-book adventure about friendship, giving and the joy of celebrating together.
Perfect for children who enjoy:
- Friendly ghosts
- Magical birthday parties
- Funny and gentle spooky stories
- Friendship adventures
- Birthday books
- Halloween stories without scary monsters
For young readers ages 4-8.
Return to The Friendly Frights Collection, where ghost stories come with giggles, not goosebumps.
