Me and the Pumpkin Queen by Marlane Kennedy

This is a book for kids ages 8-12 and was very cute. It is about a young girl who wants to grow a giant pumpkin and enter in the Pumpkin Festival. We learn of her trials of trying to grow this giant pumpkin over the years and why it is so important for her to accomplish. She gives up a lot but gains so much more. It was a very quick read for me and I can't wait to pass it on to my granddaughter.
