What is Pumpkin's Downfall about?
Sarah is tall, dreamy and different from the other children, but animals understand her. When classroom teasing turns into cruel bullying and the ringleader threatens her cat, a strange force steps in. In the second story, Mark can only speak through a monkey-faced glove puppet, making him a target for taunts. His friend Tim tries to help when the puppet disappears, uncovering a mysterious secret about Mark’s past. Two eerie tales explore bullying, friendship and the power of being understood.
