Book Description
Murder, Magic, Mystery, & Myth. Welcome to Pumpkintown. Contains the entire Pumpkintown Perils trilogy (Volumes 1-3) in a convenient series box set! Pumpkintown Perils Volume 1: Terrible Trolls, Naughty Gnomes, & Homicidal Humans Living near a village of gnomes in the enchanted forest called Jagged Wood, Wanda Tempest owns a magic supply shop, practices witchcraft, drinks hard liquor, and does her best to keep peace with the local two-thousand pound Wood Trolls. She also happens to be a promising, if only part-time, Private Investigator. She’s talented, attractive, and has earned the respect and admiration of the equally talented, though far less striking, Pumpkintown Police Inspector Sam Shamrock, a tobacco-tainted, lascivious, and loud-mouthed leprechaun. Sam's crazy about Wanda… she’s crazy about her cat-food-hating whiskered companion, Jinxy. Join this formidable, if mismatched, crime-solving duo, as they tackle mysteries ranging from the suspiciously scandalous to the supernaturally strange. Tormented talking trees, naughty gnomes, terrible trolls, and homicidal humans will keep Wanda and Sam fighting for justice, and their very lives. Pumpkintown Perils Volume 2: Vicious Vampires, Poison Pumpkins, & Wicked Werewolves Vampires in Pumpkintown? Nobody has seen any of the damn bloodsuckers around for nearly a hundred years. But when a gorgeous gnome girl is found dead in a ditch near Nightshade Lake with vampire wounds deep in her neck, Wanda and Sam must discover the truth. It's also time for Pumpkintown's world-famous annual Pumpkin Festival but this year the food has been poisoned and there's also an anonymous assassin determined to kill every last leprechaun alive. As if all that wasn't enough, a mysterious white werewolf was seen stalking the Jagged Wood outside of Wanda's window while the local Wood Trolls are marching for war. There's a big bad moon rising over Pumpkintown and it's up to Wanda, Sam, Amber, Alice, and Jinxy to save the day. Pumpkintown Perils Volume 3: Grungy Goblins, Godlike Giants, & Magic Mushrooms The magical misadventures of wild witch Wanda Tempest and her younger twin sisters along with the legendary leprechaun Pumpkintown Police Inspector Sam Shamrock continue in the third volume of madhouse mysteries. Tenacious trolls, godlike giants, talking trees, and grungy goblins will keep Wanda and her team of crossbow-carrying gnomes busy from dusk until dawn. Volume 3 focuses on the suspenseful story of the wicked Wood Giant Brownbeard and Wanda's midnight to morning journey through the enchanted and jeopardous Jagged Wood. As always, Aunt Hazel and Jinxy make appearances to keep the fun times flowing. New magic, new enemies, and a new exciting experience in the world of Pumpkintown await!

While Doc Howser scours the countryside for the antidote, Bev's once again called in to investigate. The obvious culprit is Trent's nemesis Herman Monday, but when another prominent Harvest Festival entrant goes down, it becomes clear the mystery is bigger than petty pumpkin squabbles.

Contributions by Kristopher Alexander, Amanda K.

Kidd, Erica Law-Montes, Derritt Mason, Brandon Murakami, Tehmina Pirzada, Cristina Rhodes, Cristina Rivera, Jakob Rosendal, TreaAndrea M. Russworm, Vivek Shraya, Victoria Ford Smith, Joshua Whitehead, and Shuyin Yu How do we think about children’s and young adult literature? Children’s literature is often defined through audience, so what happens when children are drawn to and claim genres not built expressly “for” them? To what extent do canonical formations tend to overwrite or obscure less visible efforts to create and promote material for the young? These are the driving questions of Alt Kid Lit: What Children's Literature Might Be. Contributors to the volume offer theoretical meditations on the category of children’s and young adult literature as well as case studies of materials that complicate our understanding of such. Chapters attend to a diverse array of subjects including the “non-places” of children’s literature; child mediums; Black theater for children; children’s interpretive drawings; fanfiction; Latinx, Indigenous, and silkpunk speculative fiction; environmental zines; shōnen anime; Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal; South Asian television; and “emergency children’s literature.” The book also features interviews with two experimental writers about genre and alt-publishing and a roundtable conversation on video games and children’s digital engagements. Building on diverse approaches including queer theory and postcolonial studies, Alt Kid Lit shines light on materials, methodologies, and epistemologies that are sometimes underacknowledged in the field of children’s and young adult literature studies.
