Publisher's summary

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of the holiday classic Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas with this stunning collectible novelization, adapted by New York Times bestselling author Megan Shepherd.

Jack Skellington, the beloved Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, has grown tired of his home's annual scaring routines and longs for something new. So when he and his loyal dog, Zero, discover a series of doors in the Hinterlands leading to other holiday towns, he can't help but explore--and quickly becomes enamored with Christmas Town, a place filled with jolly laughs, merry elves, and plenty of presents.

Jack shares all of his findings with the rest of Halloween Town, and together, they devise a plan to run Christmas themselves. But not all tricks can be turned into holiday treats, and Jack's dream to organize the best Christmas ever may just turn into a nightmare. Alongside friends like the rag doll Sally, can Jack find his true purpose as a holiday king?

What a surprise!

the narrator is incredibly spirited and is definitely having a ball with the story. I had no idea this was even coming out and I'm so freaking happy this story is my childhood

Very well written

The narrator delivers on this expanded tale that is very well known. The author was able to add substance and depth to this story of love and growth.

Good Story

I loved this movie as a kid, and I'm glad they came out with a book that gives more detail to the story. I absolutely despised the persons voice and delivery who was reading the story. I found I had a hard time finishing this due to the narrator and his obnoxious voice and trying to give each character a 'distinct' voice.

Great overall

Great overall book the Narrator was really into this book. The only thing I did not like was the voice of the mayor. He made him out to be too flamboyant.

this was a great audio

5 stars - I loved it!

If you have watched the movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas, then you know this story. This is basically just the book version of the movie. It was a wonderful story to listen to right before the holiday and MacLeod Andrews did a wonderful job narrating the story and bringing these characters to life.

Wonderful

A great book to listen to when you love the movie so much. I listen to this on car rides to work so that I don't have road rage.

I couldn’t even listen!

I tried…. I love NBC. The Narrator is so Over the top up and dow. Over dramatized. I couldn’t pay attention. I found the narrator beyond annoying. I’m so disappointed as I really wanted this on Audible. I’m not sure how there are all other just 5 stars. I could barely hear as it was just Way too much up and down. Really disappointing.
