Description:
As
the townsfolk sleep, something creeps into the neighborhood. Hidden in
shadows, its presence is as old as time itself, its intent not born of
goodness.
Nick,
a teenager who fancies himself a detective, wakes to find his carved
masterpiece missing. Now a mystery is afoot, and Nick has his first
assignment, to find out who or what is snatching up the town’s pumpkins
and why.
Unfortunately,
as with all great detectives, obstacles stand in Nick’s way—the
neighborhood bully and his cronies, and the strange old lady and her dog
who share the run-down house at the end of Nick’s block. As Nick
investigates, an urban legend unravels . . . .
The Legend of The Pumpkin Thief.
Nick
fears the legend as he embarks on the most dangerous adventure of his
young life. Collecting clues, getting ever closer to the true nature of
evil, he learns that curiosity comes with a high price.
