"Pumpkinheads is the zaniest and zippiest book I've worked on," Rowell said in a press release. "I just really wanted to do something joyful."

"Pumpkinheads is the zaniest and zippiest book I've worked on. I just really wanted to do something joyful," Rowell said in a press release. Hicks added that "Rainbow is an author whose books have made me cry twice before, and I'm not ashamed to admit I teared up at the end of reading the Pumpkinheads script. It's cute and hilarious and sweet, full of characters so alive I immediately wanted to start drawing their adventures."

Pumpkinheads follows high school seniors Deja and Josiah, who are "working their last shift at the world's greatest pumpkin patch," according to the book's official description. "Josiah thinks it will just be another calm night at the Succotash Hut, but Deja has other plans: Snacks! Adventure! Talking to girls!"
