BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Janice MacDonald's profusely illustrated chapter book tells the story of a most unusual Hallowe'en. Featured are Annalise the Witch, Ernie the Ghost and Milton the Skeleton - who live in their haunted house. When the three friends decide to make costumes and join the trick-or-treaters on the darkened streets in search of fun, excitement and treats, everything is turned upside down. Adding to the witchery of the story are Pamela Breeze Currie's many spellbinding illustrations of the friends and their adventures. Children will love this story of ghosts and ghouls, of magic and mystery, where nothing is as it appears and results are totally unexpected.
Janice MacDonald is an Edmonton author who writes mystery novels and stories for both children and adults. She wrote The Ghouls' Night Out for her Hallowe'en-loving daughters, Madeleine and Jocelyn.
