The Gift From Obadiah's Ghost is a story of overcoming fears. Tommy, the young hero, is so paralyzed by fear of the dark that not only must he sleep with a night light on, but he cannot even bring himself to go trick or treating with his friends on Halloween. His fear is handled with great sympathy and understanding by his parents, but it is a friendly 18th century ghost who cleverly and magically helps Tommy put aside his fears.

The subject of childhood fears, particularly fear of the dark, is treated with sensitivity and compassion. The Gift from Obadiah's Ghost is a beautifully written and illustrated Halloween tale and also a story of courage.
