— Appears in: The Land of Ideas : An Anthology of Stories for Children by South Australian Writers 1986; (p. 113-118) In preparation for a Halloween party a young girl, Kirsty, goes to the Magic Shop to buy a witch's mask. Kirsty is rather rude to Yen Wu, the Chinese owner of the shop, and then expects her mother to make a cloak and hat to match. It is obvious from the text that Kirsty can be petulant and demanding. On arrival at the Halloween party Kirsty spies another person dressed in exactly the same costume including the scary mask. Much to her indignation, the other person seems rather elusive and Kirsty cannot quite discover who she is. Kirsty falls asleep on the couch and only awakens when the party is over. Imagine her surprise when she goes towards her parents' car only to discover they are leaving without her.
