Title: Pumpkinheads
Author: Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks
Genre: Graphic Novel, Young Adult, Contemporary
It's the last night of the season, and the last season before friends Josie and Deja head off to college after four falls of working together. The Pumpkin Patch is the perfect place to experience fall, with pumpkins, kettle corn, corn mazes, hayrides, and just about any pumpkin product you can think of. It’s also Josie’s last chance to talk to his crush, Marcy also known as "The Fudge Girl". His shyness is only matched by Deja’s enthusiasm to try all of the treats at the patch one last time.
Pumpkinheads is an all in one night epic story, told by Rainbow Rowell and drawn by Faith Erin Hicks. The pumpkin patch sets up a variety of obstacles for Josie, and of course the reader gets to experience the great pumpkin patch with the friends! Josie is a nice guy who doesn’t quite know what he wants, while Deja is a bold girl who is the kind of friend everyone needs.
Readers will be cheering them on, and it's hard to not enjoy this literary equivalent of a pumpkin spiced latte.
