Bookroo's summary

The Alden children arrive at Beckett farm, where autumn festivities are overshadowed by a chilling mystery. A specter with a glowing pumpkin head warns visitors to stay away. As the farm's eerie secrets unfold, the Aldens must unravel the truth behind the haunting. Will they uncover the specter's identity before it's too late?

From the publisher

This fall-flavored adventure for the Boxcar Children takes the Aldens to a New England farm that has more than its share of strange occurrences. Every year at the Beckett farm, visitors come to buy pumpkins and go on hayrides, but this year something is haunting the old place–a mysterious specter with a glowing pumpkin head that warns guests to stay away! It’s up to the Aldens to find out who–or what–is behind the scare.
