Each year, she and her siblings look forward to tricking a sly spirit named Jack by carving turnips into jack-o'-lanterns. Now, with no turnips in sight, she'll need to find different ways to bring the spirit of the holiday to her new home. Lila and the Jack-o'-Lantern tells the true story of how Irish immigrants brought Halloween to the United States -- and gave it the unique American twist we enjoy today" -- ER -
