Pumpkinheads

Deja and Josiah are seasonal best friends.
Every autumn, all through high school, theyâve worked together at the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world. (Not many people know that the best pumpkin patch in the whole wide world is in Omaha, Nebraska, but it definitely is.) They say good-bye every Halloween, and theyâre reunited every September 1.
But this Halloween is differentâJosiah and Deja are finally seniors, and this is their last season at the pumpkin patch. Their last shift together. Their last good-bye.
Josiahâs ready to spend the whole night feeling melancholy about it. Deja isnât ready to let him. Sheâs got a plan: What ifâinstead of moping and the usual slinging lima beans down at the Succotash Hutâthey went out with a bang? They could see all the sights! Taste all the snacks! And Josiah could finally talk to that cute girl heâs been mooning over for three years . . .
What if their last shift was an adventure?
