Ellie Morgan's life would be perfect if she could just get her potentially prize-winning pumpkin, Max, to put on about two hundred more pounds, and if she could lose twenty herself. With the extra weight, Max would be the champion of the Rock River Pumpkin Weigh-In; minus twenty pounds, Ellie would have the courage to approach Wes, the new boy in town. But unpredictable weather is threatening Max, pumpkin thieves are running rampant, and Sweet Corn Coquette contestants are eyeing Wes. Will Ellie be able to go for it all?
"This laugh-out-loud story is a delight . . . Ellie proves herself an all-around winner. So is Max and so is this book." (School Library Journal, starred review)

In a starred review, PW called this first novel about a 16-year-old girl who stakes everything on her 611-pound competition-grade pumpkin "fast-paced and engrossing entertainment that startles the reader with its underlying strength." Ages 12-up.
