I don’t have a single complaint about this book! It was so wholesome, & bittersweet- I honestly didn’t want it to end! This book had me on the edge of my seat, rooting for the main character, & almost in tears. I adored most of the characters- especially Scrags, Peaty, and the Pumpkin King! I liked the twist at the end, it was well executed! Extremely well done writing, and the plot was well thought out! Fantasy meets Halloween Town essentially! 

- A girl runs away from an orphanage, after the loss of her parents & after countless adoptions gone wrong. She stumbles upon (the last thing she’d ever expect) a walking Jack-o’-lantern, that refers to himself as the Pumpkin King. He extends an offer to adopt her, and she reluctantly accepts. And what she comes to find- she is welcomed by a magical world of the undead! As the only living being in this universe, can she peacefully coexist with the other creatures?
