Every kid wants to wear an awesome Halloween costume and nine-year-old Jake Hornsby is no exception. This Halloween, he wants to wear the astronaut suit hanging in the window of Emmet’s Costume Shop. When his parents refuse to give him the money to buy it, Jake’s afraid he’ll have to spend another Halloween in one of his mother’s crazy homemade costumes.
 
Then when a neighbor gives him a mysterious bag of seeds and promises they’ll grow into an amazing sight on October 31st, Jake thinks he’s found a way to earn the money for the astronaut suit. He plants the seeds and sells tickets to his Halloween garden.
 
But although Jake carefully follows the strange instructions required to care for the seeds, nothing seems to be happening and Halloween is drawing near. Will Jake’s Halloween spectacle turn out to be a Halloween disaster?
