Info
I would love to tell you that watching the 2014 Cartoon Network miniseries Over the Garden Wall every year around Halloween is one of my traditions, but it’s not…because I watch it ALL THE TIME. Cheese and crackers, I love this series so much! And I know I’m not alone, since its popularity only seems to grow every year. There are comics, and cosplay at cons, and I am pretty sure all the different merch from the show is what keeps Hot Topic afloat.
Over the Garden Wall is about two half-brothers, Wirt and Greg, who get lost in the woods on Halloween night and encounter many unusual characters as they search for their way home. But The Beast is also in those woods, and they must avoid him if they ever want to leave. It’s so weird and funny, with tons of famous voices, and it has little songs, too. It’s definitely a perfect Halloween show, but it’s also great for any time of year.
One of the things that makes Over the Garden Wall so special is that there isn’t much like it, but there are lots of things that have similar vibes. If you’re a fan, you’ll find a lot to love below with the six books I chose. And if you’ve never seen it, you’ll still find six great books to check out (and you should watch it ASAP!) All of these are middle grade reads, except for Elatsoe and Mage, which might be better for young adults.
