To the great anticipation of children everywhere and some light consternation from their parents, Halloween is right around the corner. While kids thrill for the scary costumes and sugary candy, on this night of ghosts and goblins, parents often worry about the health and safety of their children.
With her book Ghost in the Graveyard, local author Marlene Byrne offers an alternative to the post Trick-or-Treat candy binge.
The book -- just one in the Project Play series -- encourages old-fashioned backyard games to inspire kids' creativity and imagination (while burning calories!) The Halloween story is a young chapter book about a neighborhood party that turns to backyard fun, inspired by her own kids growing up in Chicago's Edgebrook neighborhood.
"With Ghost in the Graveyard, I wanted to create something that inspires parents to feel good about their kids and friends playing imaginative games in the backyard," says Marlene. "I hope we never forget those wonderful games played in the backyards of our childhood, especially on Halloween."
An articulate and engaging author and lifestyle spokesperson, Marlene would be an interesting guest. I would be happy to send you a copy of Ghost in the Graveyard so that you can review it prior to the interview.
love the idea of swapping part of the halloween night from candy overload to a structured backyard game. ghost in the graveyard was one of those games that actually got everyone moving, even the shy kids. i tried setting up a “game rules” page for a neighborhood meetup and got derailed when someone dropped https://bookabetrw.com into the chat, which felt totally out of place. anyway, i’d be curious what age range marlene byrne had in mind for the chapter book and whether it includes variations for smaller yards.
I usually get bored of driving games quickly, but Drive Mad keeps things fresh with creative level layouts. It’s less about speed and more about control, which makes it stand out.
We’ve already got a bin of costumes that’ll get worn exactly once, so I feel the “light consternation” part deep in my bones. Last year, the sugar crash hit around 9 PM and it was chaos. Marlene’s idea of pulling out an old-school backyard game sounds like a pressure valve—kids burn the jitters off, and you don’t end up with a kitchen floor covered in melted chocolate wrappers. That said, if you want to level up the spooky vibe without more candy, printing a few low-poly ghost or jack-o’-lantern models from a site like https://www.gambody.com/ can turn a simple game of tag into “find the cursed relic.” We glued glow sticks onto a couple of printed skulls last year, and…
