Mrs. Carroll said. “But it’s an interesting part of Fernfield folklore.” Her class stared at the boarded-up old manor on the outskirts of town. Five of the kids in the class—Billy, Pete, Bartleby, Sam, and Alice—were there. They had brought their golden retriever puppies with them—B-Dawg, Mudbud, Budderball, Buddha, and Rosebud. Together, the five pups were known as the Buddies. They were tagging along on the class’s Spooky Fernfield field trip. One of the bigger kids in the class, Rodney, looked around with a smirk. “Tell that to the kids who got eaten by the Howlloween Hound last year,” he said. “Kids go in every Halloween and say the Hound’s name in the mirror three times, and they’re never seen again!” Suddenly, there was a loud howl from the bushes. Everyone gasped. A boy named Skip stepped out. He was the one who had howled. He laughed and traded high fives with Rodney. “Okay, Rodney and Skip,” Mrs. Carroll scolded. “There will be no more tricks. Come along children, we have two more stops on our Spooky Fernfield tour.”
