  • Suhailah (Trying to catch up after moving)

    A very creative and beautiful graphic novel depicting another adventure in Halloween Town with our favorite Nightmare Before Christmas characters. Jack unintentionally unleashes mayhem in the town with another one of his overenthusiastic ideas leaving intuitive Sally in charge of predicting the consequences and organizing the chaos.

    This was my first official graphic novel read, and it was super fun especially considering the topic. The art work was splendid! I had already kind of adjusted to reading mangas though, so I found myself wanting to read right to left!! 😂

    "Imagine, if you will, a mirror... a magical mirror! A mirror that you can take the reflection from! Imagine! Twice the pumpkins! Twice the costumes! Twice the Halloween!"

    NBC impacted my life in a huge way when I first witnessed it. The year was 1993 and I was seven years old. I was obsessed with the Phillies, barbies, and Mighty Max. My Dad loved to try to scare us with horror movies, but I was instantly drawn to them. That is where my obsession began, and NBC took my hand and lead me further down that dark road.

    This was a fun little story that brings back all of our favorite characters. The story was fun, the illustrations are cute, and it was overall a great addition to NBC. Just wish there was more of our favorite Boogeyman.

    All I can really say is I love The Nightmare Before Christmas... so I loved this!

    When Sally is the planner for Halloween while Jack works on an invention, she has a vision it goes awry and though his invention works, there are tons of copies of everyone. Can she help Jack to reverse it? Read on and find out for yourself.

    This was a pretty good graphic novel that fans of the Nightmare Before Christmas movie will enjoy. Be sure to check this book out at your local library and wherever books and ebooks are sold.

    Una novela grĂĄfica de una de mis pelĂ­culas favoritas= ❀

    Es muy entretenida y las ilustraciones son muy buenas.

  • Trisha

    What a fun little dash of spookiness read. I have always enjoyed The Nightmare Before Christmas and Sally being the main focus here made me incredibly happy. She's one of my favorite characters and I love how she figures things out. This is a quick read and Jack is up to his hijinks once again! Isn't that all why we adore him? I needed something lighter to try and slide me back into wanting read and this seemed to do the trick! I also loved the Halloween/autumn atmosphere, which I miss already.

  • Alex(Books-In-A-Storm)

    I loved this one. It was amazing and so beautiful.

  • Garrett

    A wholesome fun Tim Burton adventure. not bad for only a few bucks at Walmart

  • Becky

    This was a lot of fun to read. The illustrations are beautiful and amazing done. I enjoyed seeing all the beloved characters acting within a new story.

  • Yesi Altamirano

    Me encantĂł. La historia estĂĄ sĂșper entretenida y las ilusiones son hermosas.
    Totalmente ideal para una lectura ligera y mĂĄs en Halloween.
    AdemĂĄs me encanta que se respeta demasiado la personalidad original de los personajes.
    Me encanta que Disney este desarrollado sus historias en cĂłmics, mangas y novelas gracias.

  • Chris Lemmerman

    Jack's new invention puts all of Halloween Town in peril, and it's up to Sally to set things right before Halloween is ruined! But with copies of all her friends wandering around up to mischief, how can she tell who to trust?

    This is a pretty low stakes adventure, but it's always fun to get more stories set in TNBC universe. This is the kind of story I was hoping to get from Long Live The Pumpkin King - Sally's the hero, and it's all on her to save the day, which she does through her usual ingenuinity and ability to never give up. We don't get a ton of character work, but what we do get made me smile.

    There are a couple of weird continuity things that confused me - Sally's still living at Doctor Finkelstein's Lab, which is odd, and Oogie Boogie literally walks past in one panel despite this story clearly being set after the movie, but they're little things that mostly just made me raise an eyebrow rather than ruining the whole thing.

    The artwork's adorable though; all of your favourite Halloween Town residents are here in fun colours, and the expressions on Sally and Jack's faces are wonderful. The colours are bright despite the dark setting, and the concept art section in the back really shows how much care was taken in making sure this world looked as it should.

    A fun entry into the TNBC canon; quick and easy to read, with some lovely visuals. Recommended.

    En esta historia nos adentramos en la terrorĂ­fica tierra de Halloween donde estĂĄn alistĂĄndose para el gran dĂ­a sin embargo Jack tiene una nueva idea que quiere desarrollar y deja a Sally a cargo de todos los preparativos y aunque esta nerviosa trata de hacer lo mejor posible hasta que las cosas empiezan a salir mal como si alguien estuviera haciendo travesuras con los preparativos y Sally tendrĂĄ que resolverlo.

    En esta novela grĂĄfica nos volvemos a sumergir en este mundo que seguro la mayorĂ­a conoce gracias a la pelĂ­cula de Disney y es una historia corta y sencilla pero que sin duda te sumerge por completo en este mundo ademĂĄs de que los personajes son fieles a su esencia por lo que bien podrĂ­a ser continuaciĂłn de la pelĂ­cula sin problema.

    Otro gran acierto es lo precioso de los dibujos y los detalles que tienen ademas de los tonos sombrĂ­os y perfectos para la historia que te hace sumergirte por completo.

    Sin duda un gran libro para quienes les gusta el halloween, también para los mas jóvenes o quienes son muy fans de este mundo.

  • April B.

    Fun read!

    Perfect fun for Halloween! Sally was a fun character to get to know more and to see her interact with the town more was great!

  • Bookish

    Uno de los muchos mangas que descubrí que son bajo el tema y personajes de “Nightmare before christmas”.

    En este manga Sally toma la batuta nuevamente cerca de la celebración de Halloween, Jack y sus ideas locas vuelven a poner a ‘Halloween Town’ de cabeza y todos los habitantes están desesperados.

    Es entretenido, corto y super fĂĄcil de leer, para los amantes de Jack y Sally se los recomiendo. No hay mucho que decir ya que es un manga y cualquier cosa serĂĄ spoiler.

  • Danica

    Ok concept, mediocre execution at best.
    Honestly, it just kind of falls flat. It's a time waster. Nothing interesting happens and everything is explained slowly and methodically through exposition, not in any particularly interesting way. It just drags and ultimately ruins the somewhat interesting idea.

    Can Sally save Halloween and Halloween Town before it’s too late?
    Master of scares, Jack Skellington has his best idea yet! He’s about to make his dream come true and bring his expertise in spookiness to the other holiday worlds. To do this, he needs to focus solely on his plan and his newest invention to go with it. This means he doesn’t have time for his regular Halloween duties and appoints Sally as the official Halloween planner. As Sally starts coordinating with the residents of Halloween Town, she quickly realizes something is not quite right. In fact, something is very wrong. It’s almost as if she has a secret doppelganger sneaking around the town behind her back. Can she get to the bottom of everything and save the celebrations before it’s too late?
    The Nightmare Before Christmas is average for me; I don’t absolutely love it, but I don’t dislike it. I find it enjoyable enough, however, I seem to love every adaptation made from it. I couldn’t wait to read Mirror Moon and it turned out to be a fun and intriguing continuation. The story, written by Mallory Reaves, was unique and exciting; I couldn’t wait to see how this adventure would end. The illustrations, created by Gabriella Chianello and Nataliya Torretta, were absolutely stunning. I loved all of the little details in each picture and felt like this story was captured perfectly. If you’re a NBC fan (or not) check this out!

    Cute but definitely not as good as the Zero’s Journey manga series. Unlike Zero’s Journey, the atmosphere and dialogue felt super off and cheesy compared to the original film. It felt like a Disney XD show like a Gravity Falls episode (which I loved when I was younger!) but had none of what is great about The Nightmare Before Christmas movie. This manga is definitely geared toward younger/middle grade readers, and if you’re older than that, you probably won’t enjoy this one. Still, I liked having a cute and cozy Halloween read while it rained tonight!

    I would say skip this one and read the Zero’s Journey manga series instead since the art, dialogue, and overall tone is much truer to the film.

  • Marya D.

    I'm honestly puzzled by the high reviews for this. The story didn't seem to fit with the mood and atmosphere of the film, and there were utterly bizarre continuity errors like Jack's Pumpkin King personae shown here as a totally different character called "Gourd"? Or Oogie Boogie appearing as just a random townsperson helping to get things done for the holiday, without any explanation? It just felt lazy to me. Jack also seemed out of character, especially as this takes place after the events of the movie. I'm giving it two stars because the artwork is cute and well done. Zero's Journey was much better.

  • Sirah

    It's the week before Halloween, and Jack is having another brilliant idea to make it the best holiday ever. He wants to make copies of everything to have twice the Halloween! What could possibly go wrong? Once again, it's up to Sally to find the cause of the trouble and set things right.

    I love this one mostly for the nostalgia. The story is fun, and the illustrations are bright. It's probably not really a 5-star book, but I can't not love anything Nightmare Before Christmas.

  • Kristen

    This is a fun reimagining of the world of the Nightmare Before Christmas and adventures in Halloween town. Once again, Sally is the voice of reason and saves the day! This is a cute graphic novel, and the illustrations are vibrant and beautifully drawn. I found myself on each page reading the text first, and then going back to spend some time on the details of the artwork.
    Recommended for Jack and Sally fans !

  • David Edmonds

    Mirror Moon is a fun, family-friendly adventure in the Nightmare Before Christmas world. Jack Skellington decides that he can help create even more Halloween fun by enchanting a mirror that will make duplicates of all the sights and sounds of Halloween, because twice the scares, twice the fun! However, when Jack’s mirror starts accidentally making duplicates of the citizens of Halloween Town, it’s up to Sally to solve the dilemma and set things right.

    This is a great story for fans of any age of the Nightmare Before Christmas, but especially for the younger crowd, who will appreciate the bold illustrations and vibrant colors. A great addition from @tokyopop to the Nightmare Before Christmas lore.

    Sally is always there to save the day !
    It was a lovely book full of colors and with a new story. Sally was in charge of the preparations of Halloween while Jack was putting his idea to life.
    I liked the fact that Sally checked the flower in order to check if Jack's new idea was a good thing or not as in the movie. 🎃🎃🎃🎃
    Special mention for the vampires đŸ§›â€â™€ïž

  • Exceptionally Grace Reads

    This book was so much fun! The story was entertaining and I love how it focused more on Sally and the underrated characters! I loved the art it really brought the Halloween town and well-loved characters to life! I must say I thought the copies would be more evil but overall this is my favorite Nightmare Before Christmas spin-off story I have read so farâ˜șïžđŸ’›đŸ“š

  • kellin

    Ahh this was such a fun story, it was quick paced and very enjoyable! It makes me want to rewatch the movie all over again! In these 5 volumes we see Jack create a mirror that creates doppelgÀngers and these doppelgÀnger get into some trouble and sally has to get to the bottom of it and save Halloween, the vibes of this was absolutely everything I loved this!

  • Patricia Puckett

    Now this is the best Sally-centric story I've read yet. I had read one that was published a year or two ago that I had felt didn't capture Sally's character at all correctly (I'll let that one go unnamed). But this one was great, with Sally really handling herself--and the task of planning Halloween--not with ease, but with confidence. Loved this, and the art was gorgeous!

  • Annie Erwin

    This was so cute. I needed a quick read, and the art was incredible. This is definitely more Sally oriented.
    I love her confidence in this little graphic novel ( Manga).
    I will definitely read this again.

  • Brooke🤍 Chansler

    Cute! I’m a little confused about the timeline cuz Jack knows about the other holiday doors in this so it must be a sequel but also Oogie is still around in this so it must be a prequel?? Regardless it was very enjoyable and sweet :)

  • Lina

    Comeca do absoluto nada é até parece que depois do final a Sally ainda moraria lå, mas enfim, bem gostosinho de ler esse, como pode esse esqueleto querer tanto, pensar tanto, mexer com coisas de laboratório e ainda sem bem burrinho...
