Who knew pumpkins could do that?

 

Cary Redmond encounters a lot of unusual things in her life as a magical Protector. A cursed Jack-O'-Lantern, however, is new. But since the creepy pumpkin is in her best friend's place of business, Cary is quick to help.

 

The only problem is she has no idea how to stop a curse. Or a pumpkin. Or, really anything. Getting between bad guys and good guys…she does that all day long. Stopping a deadly pumpkin come to life…not so much.

 

But Cary is up for the challenge. At least, she hopes so.
