Bookroo's summary

In a town plagued by mysterious attacks, four misfit detectives find themselves in over their heads. After carving pumpkins from a cursed patch, the jack-o-lanterns spring to life, wreaking havoc. To save their town, the Creeps must join forces with the grumpy witch, Old Lady Bitterwood. Can they unravel the curse before it's too late? Dive into a thrilling adventure where friendship and bravery are the only hope against a pumpkin invasion.

From the publisher

Goosebumps meets NERDS meets Scooby Doo in this graphic novel mystery series about the power of misfits. The Creeps are in trouble, again. When rule breaking during one of their investigations lands the detectives in “service detention,” the four friends find themselves lugging pumpkins off a foreclosed pumpkin patch. To thank them for their service, Sheriff Obie allows each Creep to take home a pumpkin to carve into a jack-o-lantern. Bad idea. Once carved, the jack-o-lanterns come to life–and attack everyone within reach! It turns out the pumpkins came from a cursed patch, and to stop the Attack-o-Lanterns from destroying their town, the Creeps will have to team up with the patch’s unpleasant owner, Old Lady Bitterwood, who happens to be a witch.
