Plot Summary

This fall-flavored adventure for the Boxcar Children takes the Aldens to a New England farm that has more than its share of strange occurrences. Every year at the Beckett farm, visitors come to buy pumpkins and go on hayrides, but this year something is haunting the old place—a mysterious specter with a glowing pumpkin head that warns guests to stay away! It's up to the Aldens to find out who—or what—is behind the scare.

Reviews

"The simplicity of the writing and the many repetitions of the rapidly accumulating clues will best suit readers new to the mystery genre, and similarly, the shaded pencil drawings will encourage readers new to chapter books." Booklist
