Kelly Rorvik and Tara Tosten are co-authors of the new children’s picture book and early reader series led by Hallie, a young shy girl who musters up her inner courage to save her village amid a Halloween Harvest. Rorvik and Tosten grew up together in Pennsylvania as neighbors and friends, both painfully shy, and sought to create a Halloween-themed series with a positive character for girls. Kelly Rorvik now works as a teacher in Pennsylvania where the two grew up, and Tara Tosten works in film production in California and once worked as a script reader for Trancas films, the company that makes all the HALLOWEEN Mike Myers films.
