5 Books With PUMPKINS

 

Cinderella by K. M. Shea

A Cinderella retelling. It's part of the larger Timeless Fairytale retelling series, but I know people who read it as a stand alone and understood everything. This book is seriously so cute and funny. PLEASE READ IT

 

 Pumpkin Heads by Rainbow Rowell

Ok. I've never actually read this book. But I liked Fangirl and it DOES has Pumpkins (a whole pumpkin patch actually) so...

 

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving

One of the GREATEST pumpkin heads, the headless horseman. Though I must say...a pumpkin doesn't seem like the must sustainable head replacement, you know? But then again it is a bit more balanced than your standard garden-found head replacement. It's probably a little stronger than say, a watermelon. And more head shaped than a cantaloupe or, I don't know, a tomato. And it DID happen during the Fall so I suppose he didn't have many options. (An apple would just look silly, you know? And it's hard to get the flaming eyes vibe.)

 

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

The "pumpkin" in question is a rusty orange car, but its a Cinderella retelling so I'm going to let it slide.  

  

Heartless by Marissa Meyer

A Queen of Hearts retelling set in Wonderland, featuring various fairy tale characters, include Peter Pumpkin Eater (who had a wife and couldn't keep her.) Pumpkins play an important part in the novel and a pumpkin patch is the setting for an important scene.
