Bookroo's summary

Stumpkin is the perfect pumpkin—vibrant and round, yet missing a stem. As Halloween nears, his fellow pumpkins are chosen, leaving him behind. Can Stumpkin find someone who sees his true potential and give him the chance to light up the night? Discover if this stemless wonder will finally shine in a world that values perfection.

From the publisher

Stumpkin is the most handsome pumpkin on the block. He’s as orange as a traffic cone! Twice as round as a basketball! He has no bad side! He’s the perfect choice for a Halloween jack-o-lantern. There’s just one problem—Stumpkin has a stump, not a stem. And no one seems to want a stemless jack-o-lantern for their window. As Halloween night approaches, more and more of his fellow pumpkins leave, but poor Stumpkin remains. Will anyone give Stumpkin his chance to shine?
