No one loves Halloween more than Atticus so he’s delighted to be starring in the school play, written especially for Halloween.

The make-believe terror of Halloween is replaced by Atticus being genuinely petrified of leaving and starting a new life. All the children are sad to be saying goodbye to Atticus but none more so than Rory, who is losing his best friend.
