In Pumpkinheads, beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell and Eisner Awardwinning artist Faith Erin Hicks have teamed up to create this tender and hilarious story about two irresistible teens discovering what it means to leave behind a placeand a personwith no regrets.
Deja and Josiah are seasonal best friends.
Every autumn, all through high school, theyve worked together at the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world. (Not many people know that the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world is in Omaha, Nebraska, but it definitely is.) They say good-bye every Halloween, and theyre reunited every September 1.
But this Halloween is differentJosiah and Deja are finally seniors, and this is their last season at the pumpkin patch. Their last shift together. Their last good-bye.
Josiahs ready to spend the whole night feeling melancholy about it. Deja isnt ready to let him. Shes got a plan: What ifinstead of moping and the usual slinging lima beans down at the Succotash Hutthey went out with a bang? They could see all the sights! Taste all the snacks! And Josiah could finally talk to that cute girl hes been mooning over for three years . . .
What if their last shift was an adventure?
