Firesmith succeeds in creating an entertaining and imaginative narrative that brings a fresh perspective to the Halloween candy dilemma. Jimmy and the Halloween Candy Monster is a delightful read for families, offering a playful solution to a familiar childhood conundrum.” – Original Review
Kaye Nutman
“Engrossing short story about a young boy who always seems to lose his sweets/candies/lollies on Halloween night to the cookie monster. The language is well pitched to the younger age group, who will find the colour pictures entertaining too.”
