Wiggly found the coziest pumpkin on the farm.

It was round.
It was warm.
It was delicious.
And it was perfect for a nap.

But while Wiggly sleeps, the farmer carries the pumpkin to the field and places it atop a brand-new scarecrow!

When Wiggly wakes high above the corn, he is sure his pumpkin has grown a body. Soon Midnight, Cookie, and Mrs. Feather are drawn into the mystery, and one spooky voice sends the whole farm into a floppy panic.

With Picklo and a little Halloween magic, Wiggly and his friends discover that things often seem much less frightening once we understand them.

A funny autumn adventure about courage, curiosity, friendship, and a scarecrow that is not so scary after all.
