Synopsis
In this picture book based on an African American legend, a young girl named Jenny Reen stays in the slave quarters with Sister Louisa while her parents work in the fields. To pass the time, Sister Louisa tells Jenny Reen about the Jack Muh Lantern, a monster who lives in the nearby swamp. Although Jenny Reen knows to be wary of the swamp, she forgets herself one day and follows a butterfly into the home of the monster. Will Jenny Reen be able to escape from the Jack Muh Lantern? Color illustrations accompany the text.

Sister Louisa, who cares for Jenny Reen while her parents work in the field, warns the young slave girl about a monster, known from long-told tales, who comes out on Halloween.

Publisher's Note
Jenny Reen stays with Sister Louisa in the slave quarters while her parents work the fields. As Halloween approaches, Sister Louisa warns Jenny Reen about the Jack Muh Lantern, a monster who lives in the swamp and pulls unsuspecting people into the mire. Soon she's lost in the woods, face to face with the Jack Muh Lantern! How Jenny finally remembers Sister Louisa's advice to escape the monster's clutches makes for a spooky and satisfying Halloween story based on African-American folk legend. Full color.
