Jedes Jahr zu Halloween hagelt es wieder Beschwerden, weil Eugenia und ihre Geschwister den anderen Kindern ihre Süßigkeiten abluchsen. Damit soll jetzt Schluss sein! Deshalb soll Halloween ausfallen. Stattdessen gibt es ein unheimlich langweiliges Schulfest. Doch am Abend geschehen merkwürdige Dinge. Spukt es etwa wirklich? Ob die Herdmann-Kinder wohl etwas damit zu tun haben, dass sich dieser Gruselabend zum besten Halloweenfest aller Zeiten entwickelt? Das zweite Buch über die Herdmanns - mit Lachgarantie!

Nur für starke Nerven! Neues von den Chaoskindern. Wenn die Herdmanns kommen, ist Vorsicht angesagt. Denn die sechs sind die schlimmsten Kinder aller Zeiten. Und nun soll Lisa auch noch über jeden ihrer Mitschüler etwas Nettes schreiben - also auch über Eugenia Herdmann. Was soll das denn sein? Dass Eugenia und ihre Geschwister dafür verantwortlich sind, dass es im Schulbus spukt? Oder eine tote Schlange im Klassenraum alle durcheinander bringt? Und dabei weiß Lisa noch nicht einmal, was den Herdmannkindern als Nächstes einfallen wird! Der dritte Band der superwitzigen Erfolgsserie!

Das kann ja heiter werden! Im ganzen Viertel ist man sich einig: Die Kinder der Familie Herdmann sind die schlimmsten Kinder aller Zeiten.

Zu allem Überfluss haben sie es auch noch geschafft, alle Hauptrollen im weihnachtlichen Krippenspiel zu bekommen. Womöglich steht damit die schlimmste Aufführung aller Zeiten bevor. Der etwas andere Weihnachtsklassiker von Barbara Robinson, übersetzt von Erfolgsduo Paul und Nele Maar, mit neuen, ebenso pfiffigen wie farbigen Illustrationen von Anke Kuhl, die ihre ganz eigene Geschichte im Detail erzählen.
