Frank N. Stine is hungry for a gingerbread cookie, but he is almost out of his favorite mix. He throws a bunch of random ingredients into the mix, accidentally tosses ina potion - and doesn’t realize he may be set up for disaster!
Mimicking the classic poem, including the gingerbread man’s call, but a spooky twist for a Halloween-style adventure. A teensy bit scary, but mostly good fun.
