Relive Tim Burton's beloved and utterly unique holiday classic in this evocative novelisation. Jack Skellington is the adored Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, but he has grown tired of leading the usual scares every year. Then he stumbles upon a mysterious tree-shaped door deep in the Hinterlands and falls straight into Christmas Town-an enchanting place like no other, full of sparkling snow, merry elves and twinkling lights. Reinvigorated, Jack returns to Halloween Town and recruits the citizens for his new plan: to organise Christmas themselves! But even with aid from his loyal dog, Zero, and the resourceful rag doll Sally, challenges lurk around every corner. Sally has a terrible vision of the holiday ending in disaster and the mysterious Oogie Boogie hides in the shadows. Will Jack's dream of creating the perfect Christmas come true ... or is it destined to become an utter nightmare?
