About this ebook
Frank, Joe, and their best friend Chet are attending Bayport Zoo’s annual Halloween carnival. Frank and Joe have a routine planned for Scaryoke, and Chet has entered the pumpkin pie-eating contest—he even brought his own whipped cream!
After their performance, Frank and Joe go to check out the painted pumpkins on display. But when the brothers enter the tent, they see their Scaryoke song wasn’t the only smash hit at the carnival. The floor is littered with bits of pulverized pumpkins! What’s worse, the organizer says that unless the culprits are caught by the end of the day, this will be the last Boo at the Zoo…forever!
Can Frank and Joe find out what happened before it’s too late? Or is this pumpkin crime unpatchable?

The Great Pumpkin Smash - Franklin W. Dixon
TEMPER TENT-RUM
Frank, Joe, and Chet used the map to find the Boo-seum of Pumpkin Arts. It turned out to be a big white tent just a few feet away from the petting zoo.
Let’s see what’s inside,
Joe suggested. Last one in is a rotten jack-o’-lantern!
The three boys filed through the opening. As they looked around, Joe cried, Cool!
Spread out over the sawdust-covered ground were about a dozen painted pumpkins. There were pumpkins painted with animal faces, favorite cartoon characters, and splashy designs. A bunch of kids were milling around, checking out the pumpkins.
But one work of art was different from all the rest. In the middle of the tent was a tall pumpkin sculpture put together to look like a giant grasshopper. Next to it stood the boys’ schoolmate Oliver Splathall.
Oliver was a famous kid sculptor in Bayport. But as the boys approached him, he was not talking to a fan. He was arguing with a woman wearing pumpkin earrings and an orange pantsuit.
You’re in charge of the contest, Ms. Mitchell,
Oliver was saying. Isn’t there anything you can do?
I’m sorry, Oliver,
Ms. Mitchell said. This is a pumpkin-painting contest, and your artwork is clearly a sculpture.
I painted the eyeballs!
Oliver blurted, pointing to the grasshopper’s face.
