FAQ

Halloween gift questions.

Will a Halloween story be too scary for my child?

No. You choose the reading age and can skip the gently spooky writing style entirely. Even with it on, the tone stays cosy and safe — fun goosebumps, not real fear.

When should I order a printed hardcover for Halloween?

For delivery before 31 October, order printed hardcovers by about 15 October (UK and US) to leave room for printing and shipping. Running late? Create the story any time and read it on screen the night of — print remains available afterwards as a costume keepsake.

Can the story include their real costume?

Yes. Mention the costume (and friends or the street they trick-or-treat on) in your idea, and the story can reflect their actual Halloween.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Preview free, unlock a single book if you want to keep it, and print as a one-off hardcover. Nothing recurring.
