Andy Shane and the Pumpkin Trick by Jennifer Richard Jacobson illustrated by Abby Carter*

Andy is not thrilled about attending Dolores birthday party on Halloween, and doubly irritated that he has to help her set up for the party!
He, however, feels badly for her when trickster come and smash her pumpkins two days in a row.  Can Andy come up with a good trick to stop the pumpkin smashing tricksters?
*Highly recommend for transitional readers and building stamina (4 short chapters).
-Borrowed from the library.
My first grader and I took turns reading the pages aloud.  He likes Nate the Great better than this series.
