Linda has spent months growing a giant pumpkin for the Harvest Festival. She's sure she can win the prize for the biggest vegetable, but she's not the only one who wants first prize. When Linda's pumpkin is stolen the night before the competition, she's pretty certain who's responsible. But then some Eastern European refugees from the barracks on Linda's road provide the answer and they all celebrate a very special harvest festival. Introductory text explains the significance of the Harvest festival in the Christian faith and there is a full glossary of unfamiliar terms at the end of the story.
