The Pumpkin Hour

By Mark Milbrath

You're wandering around in the forest in the middle of the moonlit night--just what ARE you doing--and you stumble upon a mansion. Impossible! The Seed Reader answers the door and invites you inside. He leads you by candlelight to the Pumpkin Room, which looks like a library except instead of books there are pumpkin seeds. . . everywhere. Inside the pumpkin seeds are stories known only to him. . . .

Beware of the journey of which you are about to embark. For inside this tome, you will find out about a spooky island inhabited by dolls that you should not trifle. Know this: some things that are buried should STAY BURIED. The Tricker is back with more trickery; this time he needs souls to extend his life. Sometimes you might not want to turn out like your father; sometimes you do not want your son to turn out like you. And just what is that shiny thing on top of a Ferris wheel near horse camp? Be careful of your costume choice on Halloween. Oh, and there is a tale of a Halloween detention that goes. . . way. . . too. . . far!

These stories will linger with you forever!
