What is Grumpkin about?

Grumpkin is a pumpkin with a big problem: he hates autumn, Halloween and everything that comes with them. While the other pumpkins enjoy dressing up, eating sweets and being picked, Grumpkin dreams of escaping to a sunny tropical island. When he finally gets his chance, paradise is not quite what he expected. Away from home, Grumpkin discovers that the things he disliked may not be so bad after all, and that happiness can sometimes be found in surprising places.
