Autumn has arrived at the Friendship Garden! That means:

1. Pumpkins for carving
2. Sweet potatoes for eating
3. Piles of leaves for jumping

Besides tons of yummy fall food, Anna is excited for the Windy City Pumpkin Fest. There is going to be a bake-off, a moon bounce--even a biggest pumpkin contest! Anna, Kaya, and Reed are sure that their pumpkin, Herbert, will take home first prize.

But just two days before the contest, Herbert disappears! Kaya and Anna are sure someone stole their perfect pumpkin. After all, pumpkins can't just get up and walk away by themselves. Can the Friendship Garden crew catch the orange-fingered thief in time for the festival?
