I didn't expect much from this book. After all, books called Pumpkinhead don't exactly scream literary gold, but I found this book at the same time as as The Cinder-Eyed Cats and I gave it a try. It was a simple story and I encourage anyone looking for a little light reading to give it a try. It certainly is an adventure story. It has the quest and the journey and even a brief moment of self-realization for the protagonist. ( )
