Bookroo's summary

Eve, fleeing a grim orphanage, is unexpectedly saved by the legendary Pumpkin King. Embracing her new life in Hallowell Valley, a realm of witches and vampires, she finds a family among the undead. But as she settles in, a dark conspiracy emerges, threatening to unravel her world. Can Eve uncover the truth and protect her new home before it's too late? Dive into a magical Halloween adventure where the line between trick and treat blurs, and the stakes are as high as the moonlit sky.

From the publisher

A spooky yet heartwarming adventure about one girl’s journey into the land of the undead, and the unexpected family she finds along the way. Perfect for fans of Nevermoor and the hit series Wednesday. On Halloween, it is always wise to expect the unexpected, but no amount of planning could have prepared Eve for that particular night. Fleeing an unpleasant orphanage, she’s saved by someone who she never believed was real…the fabled Pumpkin King himself. Throwing caution aside, Eve accepts the offer to become his daughter and is whisked away to the misty Hallowell Valley–home to witches and vampires, ghosts and goblins, and all that go bump in the night. But just when she believes she’s found her place among the undead, a sinister scheme unearths itself, threatening to take everything from Eve unless she can stop it. From debut author Steven Banbury comes a cozy, magical adventure sure to delight anyone who loves the tricks of Halloween as much as the treats of autumn.
