Pumpkinheads
Folks, Rainbow Rowell is an auto-buy author for me. Her YA novel Eleanor and Park is one of my favorite books. I also loved Carry On, and the sequel, Wayward Son, is coming out soon. (More on those in another newsletter.) Pumpkinheads is a YA graphic novel romance. How awesome is that? It gets better. It's set IN A PUMPKIN PATCH where the two teenagers work. Let me tell you, if this doesn't give you all the cozy, spooky, pumpkin-spice-latte feels, nothing will. It's a super sweet and funny story with adorable artwork. I bought it for my daughter for her birthday and thought I was going to have to steal it. But the day it came, we spent the entire day at the state fair. Poor kiddo had vertigo the next day from a spinny ride, and spent the day on the couch reading. She finished it that day, I read it the next morning, and my other daughter read it after that. Let's just say it gets my family's stamp of approval!
