Griff Fang

Griff is the biggest kid in his class and great at sports. Known for his bravery, Griff is often seen as the leader of the pack around the neighborhood. 

Griff’s dad (Fenn) is the dentist in Spooky Town, and his mom (Geri) is a teacher at his school. He also has 2-year-old sister (Luna). 

Excerpt from Griff's First Haircut

"Griff was never scared to go down the big slide at Cobweb Creek Elementary School. Griff was always brave when it came to getting a shot at Doctor Stein's office. Griff wasn't even scared of the dark anymore, unlike his little sister, Luna. But Griff had never gotten a haircut, and he was certainly scared of that! 

Griff's Mom said if his hair got any longer, she'd start to call him ""Gruff."" His Dad teased that Griff looked more like a shaggy dog than a proper werewolf. Griff didn't think his hair was that long. Was it? Well, maybe it was getting a little long. Perhaps it was time for a haircut, after all. Griff’s Mom made an appointment for him at Bones' Barbershop for Tuesday after school."

Willow Moor

Willow is adventurous and absolutely loves nature! She prefers spending her time outside, climbing trees or learning about animals in her backyard. 

Willow’s dad (Lenny) runs the town grocery store Goodie Bags, and her mom (Marsha) is a swim coach/lifeguard at the town pool. Willow also has a newborn brother (Reed). 

Excerpt from Willow Is a Big Sister

"Willow used to have the playroom all to herself. Willow also used to have playtime with Mom everyday. Willow even used to have the only ""special"" seat at the dinner table. But all of that changed when Willow became a big sister! 

Willow’s mom, Marsha, brought her newborn brother, Reed, home from the hospital about a few months ago. Reed was still a baby and cried a lot. Willow wanted to help but it seemed that Reed didn’t need her help.

""Can I teach Reed how to climb a tree?"" asked Willow, very excitedly. Willow’s dad, Lenny, replied ""No, sorry. Reed is too young to climb a tree right now."" Not to be discouraged, Willow asked, ""Can I teach Reed how to swim?"" Willow’s mom said softly ""No, sorry. Reed is too young to swim right now."" Willow was sad. What could she help teach her little brother to do?"

Sheldon Stein

Sheldon is cautious by nature, making sure he and his friends are all safe, following the rules, and doing the right thing. He is known for saying “My dad always says…” to the groans and chagrin of his friends, regardless of how wise the advice is. 

Sheldon’s dad (Boris) is a stay-at-home-dad for him and his older sister (Mary). Sheldon's mom (Valerie) is the town doctor.

Excerpt from Sheldon Learns to Swim

"Sheldon had never visited the Time-Out Corner at home or at school. Sheldon had more gold stars for following the rules than any of his classmates. Sheldon often says ""My Dad always says, 'Rules are made for a reason.'"" But although Sheldon knew all Spooky Town Pool rules, he had never actually been in the water. But that was about to change because this weekend was Sheldon's first swimming lesson. 

On Saturday morning, Sheldon, his sister Mary, and his parents, Boris and Valerie, all went down to the Spooky Town neighborhood pool. ""No running, Mary!"" said Sheldon as they arrived at their pool chairs. Mary had already dropped her towel, taken off her shoes, and was jumping into the deep end of the pool. It was a warm and sunny day, so the pool was already packed."

Hazel Binding

Hazel is the bookwork in her group of friends. She loves reading, learning, and spending time at the neighborhood library. She is quite intelligent, and always knows the answers to her teacher’s questions at school. 

Hazel’s mom (Blair) owns and runs Spooky Town’s main restaurant - The Witchin' Kitchen

Excerpt from Hazel Helps in the Kitchen

"Hazel had already finished all her reading homework for school tomorrow. Hazel was just finishing a story about a brave skeleton knight befriending a dragon. Hazel also had the longest list of reserved books in her school library, waiting for her to read. But Hazel was about to read an entirely new kind of book to help her mom make a special treat for her class: a cookbook! 

Hazel's classmate Vinnie had just turned 6-years-old and she wanted to make him a special treat so their classmates could celebrate his birthday with him at school. One of Vinnie's favorite treats were cookies, so Hazel asked her mom to help her make some. Hazel's mom, Blair, ran Witchin Kitchen, Spooky Town's favorite restaurant, so she would be able to make delicious cookies for Vinnie and their friends."

Vincent "Vinnie" Fox

Vinnie loves food. His favorite meal is breakfast, followed by lunch, and then dinner, and don’t forget the snacks! Vinnie always has food on his mind, wondering what his next meal may be and if he’ll have to share any with his friends or family. 

Vinnie’s mom (Greta) is the town librarian, and his dad (Max) is an artist. 

Excerpt from Vinnie Goes to the Doctor

"Vinnie just turned 6 years old and had a birthday party that was full of cupcakes, candy, presents, and friends. Vinnie now had new responsibilities to help out at home, but also a later bedtime. Vinnie was also getting taller and constantly needed new shoes! But Vinnie didn’t realize that turning 6 years old also meant he needed to go visit Dr. Stein.

""Why do I need to see Dr. Stein if I’m not sick?"" Vinnie asked his dad, Max. ""Good question, Vincent,"" said his dad. ""It’s important to visit the doctor every year so she can see how much you’ve grown and make sure you’re healthy!"" ""That sounds easy enough,"" Vinnie thought. ""But no shots, right?"" he asked, a little nervous. ""Well, Vincent, to be honest I think there will be one shot. I know that sounds a little scary, but they are all meant to make sure you stay healthy and grow up big and strong!"" Vinnie did not want to get a shots at the doctor’s office tomorrow!"

Ellie Bones

Ellie fancies herself as the comedian of her class. She loves to be silly, dance, tell jokes, or anything that will bring a smile to the face of her family and friends. 

Ellie’s mom (Demi) is the main postal worker for Spooky Town, and her dad (Roger) runs Bones’ Barber Shop in town. 

Excerpt from Ellie Visits the Dentist

"Ellie loved to be the dentist when they played pretend at school. Ellie joked, ""Your next appointment will be at tooth-hurty."" Ellie had even made up a Dentist Dance where she twirled around like the dentist's tools. But when it came time for her first real dentist appointment with Dr. Fang, Ellie didn't feel too silly or feel much like dancing. 

""Do you want help practicing your dance?"" asked her friend Hazel. ""Oh, um, not today"" replied Ellie nervously. ""But you're showing it to the class tomorrow. Are you all ready to go?"" ""I don't think I want to do Ellie's Dentist Dance and Comedy Show anymore"" said Ellie, rubbing her funny bone but not feeling very funny. ""Truth is, my dentist appointment is after school today and I'm so scared my teeth are chattering!""
