Pumpkinheads

Rainbow Rowell, 209 pages

 

This graphic novel is a sweet Autumn story with a slight romantic feeling between two friends Deja and Josiah who work at a pumpkin patch every year. Together they plan an awesome Halloween night to celebrate their last season working together at the pumpkin patch before heading off to college.

 Josiah has a crush on another girl at the pumpkin patch, and Deja isn’t going to let him spend his last night at the pumpkin patch without encouraging him to confront his crush. They both go through hoops and ladders to find his crush while they enjoy all the food and fun at the patch. In the end Josiah realizes that his friendship with Deja means more than his crush.
