Pumpkinheads

Every autumn for the past few years, Deja and Josiah have worked side by side at the best pumpkin patch in Nebraska. They only ever see each other during the season, but over cider, candy corn, and long shifts at the Succotash Hut they've become the kind of friends who finish each other's sentences. Tonight is their very last shift before graduation, and neither of them will ever work the patch again.

Josiah has spent three autumns quietly pining for a girl who works across the way at the Fudge Shop, never once working up the nerve to talk to her. Deja decides their final night deserves a proper send-off, so she drags him away from their post on a farewell tour of the whole patch, determined to finally get him his girl, one snack stand and one wrong turn at a time.

A tender, funny graphic novel from Rainbow Rowell and Eisner Award-winning artist Faith Erin Hicks, Pumpkinheads is a bighearted celebration of autumn, friendship, and the leap it takes to say what you really mean before it's too late.
