Frido Pie Is Delicious.

As a Midwestern girl, I can attest to this. In the beginning I felt like I missed something, like a epilogue or a small backstory was missing. In the end, the story starting on the last day of the pumpkin patch worked well because a rhythm set in but to me it's a bit jarring to start. All the character's were down-to-earth and had cute quirks, which I love. Miss snack-loving Deja with all her puns is definitely my kind of gal! And Josiah's so sweet, like a puppy you want to pat on the head and give a treat to, to make him smile. The lesson Josiah learned from his mission was well earned, and his adventures with Deja really helped put his feelings in perspective, even if he didn't realize it. You can't judge a book by its cover, sometimes goats are good guys, and Pumpkin Patch friends are forever! I love Halloween so this was the perfect springtime/summer read to pump(kin) up the spooky vibes and give some sweet, friendly "spice" to your week... Get it, Pumpkin spice? *shrug* I can't help being corn(chip)y. Too much? Lol

Fun fall read

Lighthearted, cute growing up novel about two teens. It's a super quick read, but perfect for a nice fall night when you're in the mood for a feel-good novel and a hot cup of cider.
