Synopsis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Find out what happens after Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in the first book of the hit series that’s told from the perspective of Sally, the determined rag doll and love of Jack Skellington!

And don’t miss the sequel, Hour of the Pumpkin Queen, available now!

Jack and Sally are “truly meant to be” . . . or are they?

Following a whirlwind courtship with her true love, Jack Skellington, Sally the rag doll has officially stepped into the role of Pumpkin Queen. But while she adores Jack with every inch of her fabric seams, she can’t quite say the same for her new job. Cast into the spotlight and tasked with all sorts of royal duties, she starts to wonder if all she’s done is trade her captivity under Dr. Finkelstein for a different cage.

Then, while exploring the Hinterlands beyond the holiday doors, Sally stumbles upon a long-hidden entrance to another ancient realm called Dream Town—and unknowingly sets a chain of sinister events into motion. Before she knows it, both her future as Pumpkin Queen and the future of Halloween Town itself have been thrust into jeopardy.

Can Sally discover what it means to be true to herself and save the town she’s learned to call home? Or will her future turn into her worst . . . well, nightmare?

2/5 In Nightmare Before Christmas, the audience was treated to an iconic scene where Jack Skellington pops off his head mid-song and continues to sing: "And since I am dead I can take off my head to recite Shakespearean quotations.
