Synopsis
When pranksters ruin Dolores Starbuckle's perfectly good pumpkins, Andy Shane puts his trickiest plan to the test in this humorous, uplifting tale filled with Halloween fun.
Andy Shane does not want to go to Dolores Starbuckle's birthday party. It's on the same day as Halloween! Plus, Dolores is always ordering Andy around, making Andy lists on a clipboard, or squealing over Andy's marble collection. But when Dolores tells him that someone is smashing pumpkins in front of her house, the idea of tricking the tricksters sounds too appealing to resist. Maybe there's even a way to scare off the vandals and give Dolores a really great present, all at the same time!

About the Author
JENNIFER RICHARD JACOBSON is the author of numerous books for younger readers, including ANDY SHANE AND THE VERY BOSSY DOLORES STARBUCKLE, also illustrated by Abby Carter. "I loved Halloween as a child," she says. "Before trick-or-treating, millions of kids (or so it seemed) paraded around our town hall in an annual costume contest. One year, in the final moments, I was chosen to win a prize. I was Mother Goose. Who knew then that I would grow up to tell stories?"
ABBY CARTER has illustrated numerous books for young readers, including MY HIPPIE GRANDMOTHER by Reeve Lindbergh and ANDY SHANE AND THE VERY BOSSY DOLORES STARBUCKLE. She says, "I found myself laughing out loud while illustrating Dolores Starbuckle. She is such a lovable pain in the neck!"
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3–Andy Shane does not want to go to bossy Dolores Starbuckle's birthday party, but when he learns that his grandmother has volunteered to help out with it, he's trapped. Dolores tells Granny and Andy that some tricksters have broken all of the jack-o'-lanterns on her street, and the children consider different methods to catch the vandals. In the end, Andy invents his own clever solution to the problem and realizes that Dolores isn't so bad after all. Attractive pen-and-ink illustrations help move the story along. An entertaining, easy chapter book for holiday collections.–Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH
