Andy Shane and the Pumpkin Trick

By Jennifer Richard Jacobson

When pranksters ruin Dolores Starbuckle's perfectly good pumpkins, Andy Shane puts his trickiest plan to the test.

Andy Shane does not want to go to Dolores Starbuckle's birthday party. It's on the same day as Halloween! Plus, Dolores is always ordering Andy around, making Andy lists on a clipboard, or squealing over Andy's marble collection. But when Dolores tells him that someone is smashing pumpkins in front of her house, the idea of tricking the tricksters sounds too appealing to resist. Maybe there's even a way to scare off the vandals and give Dolores a really great present, all at the same time!

  • Humorous, uplifting tale filled with Halloween fun.
  • "Jacobson’s kids act just like the real thing, and Carter’s ink-wash artwork adds just the right comic dash. Not just for Halloween or birthday storytime, this is a book ripe for reading year- oun," Booklist.
