In "The Pumpkin Princess and the Forever Night" by Steven Banbury, Evelyn, an orphan, is adopted by the mythical Pumpkin King.
Newly orphaned, Evelyn escapes her dreary orphanage on Halloween night and is unexpectedly taken in by the Pumpkin King. She becomes the Pumpkin Princess in the magical realm of Hallowell Valley, where she must navigate a world filled with supernatural creatures who are either afraid of or are wary of humans. Just when Evelyn thinks she has won over the town, she uncovers a sinister plot threatening her newfound family.
The novel was an entertaining read, filled with spooky elements, and offers a heartwarming story of two people trying to define their idea of family. I appreciated how the author incorporated humor throughout the book. My favorite parts involved the scarecrows, making me wish I had a whole gang of them as friends. The mystery had some twists, although I managed to predict a few of them. The book is part of a series, and I can’t wait to dive into their other adventures.
