The Upside-Down Vampire — Passage

Vinnie the Vampire, residing in a spooky old castle, faces a unique challenge every Halloween - he's always upside-down! His attempts to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters result in sweets scattering on the floor instead of landing in their bags. The arrival of Wanda the clever witch brings a creative solution: she casts a spell making all the trick-or-treaters' bags stick to the ceiling. Now, Vinnie's upside-down candy distribution works perfectly! This humorous tale explores themes of friendship, creative problem-solving, and embracing one's uniqueness. The story's vivid characters and imaginative plot provide an engaging way to improve reading comprehension skills while celebrating the fun spirit of Halloween. It's an excellent resource for teaching students to identify and describe characters, settings, and major events in a story, aligning perfectly with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3 standards.
