Actually, it has nothing to do with Halloween, except that it’s October 31st today — but there is a treat! See this great Life is Good cap? It appears in THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF MIKE. If you can tell me WHO wears this cap in the book (there are actually TWO correct answers), I’ll enter your name in the drawing for it. Comment below, or email me. Contest is open world-wide! Good luck!

Past and the Porch Pal.
From Clara Whetstone (with help from Owen, too.)
Hey, Owen! I keep meaning to send you some Snickerdoodles (I know you were relieved to get to that line in the book…).
