We’re sharing Pumpkin Island again because it’s one of our absolute favorites to read during the month of October. 🎃
A perfect storm brings a proliferation of pumpkins to the small, unassuming town of Elkader, Iowa. Pumpkins work their way into daily life and the people do fun (and sometimes dangerous) things with them. But how will things return to normal with pumpkins continuing to pop up everywhere and make inroads into every aspect of life in Elkader? After all, one can only have so much pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie and pumpkin spice in one’s coffee. Thank goodness Halloween is coming up. But what is to be done after that? Is there life after pumpkins? A fantastically amusing tale for this season and beyond from the incomparable Arthur Geisert.
