    About this ebook

    Emily is tired of pumpkins. At school she and her friend Vincetta Louise have been doing pumpkin math, pumpkin field trips, and pumpkin writing. Can't they just carve jack-o-lanterns? But even this ends up being an assignment: the kids have to make pumpkin self-portraits.

    Then something happens to Emily's jack-o-lantern, and her friendship with Vinni is tested. The two girls get past their quarrel—but will they ever want to see a pumpkin again?

      Second-graders Emily and Vinni return in this follow-up to Peter Catalanotto and Pamela Schembri's The Secret Lunch Special, contending with an autumn season replete with pumpkins and pumpkin activities. Emily thinks she's had enough, until Mr. Marvin's class is given the task of making jack-o-lanterns in their own images. When Vinni misses Emily's birthday party that weekend however, and her temper at being left out leads her to damage Emily's creation, it looks like pumpkins have caused real trouble...Although I cannot personally identify with feeling that there are simply too many pumpkins and pumpkin-themed things around - what can I say? I love autumn, and everything that goes with it - I did appreciate the humor of Emily's frustration, in No More Pumpkins, that "everything was pumpkin. Pumpkin. Pumpkin. Pumpkin." The story here is engaging, and captures the ups and downs of primary school friendships. I look forward to the third and final title in this 2nd Grade Friends series, The Veterans Day Visitor, as this book, discovered when I was seeking Veterans Day stories, is the entire reason I'm reading the series to begin with. Recommended to beginning chapter-book readers, particularly if they enjoyed The Secret Lunch Special, or appreciate school-based stories.
