The Pumpkin Princess and the Buried Castle

When an enemy from the past arrives with a tempting but dangerous deal, Eve will have to confront what it takes to be a friend and the Pumpkin Princess in this ghoulish sequel to Steven Banbury's indie bestselling debut that's "reminiscent of The Graveyard Book and The Nightmare Before Christmas" (Publisher's Weekly, starred review).

Return to the spooky and sweet land of Hallowell, where a new dark force embroils Eve and her friends in another adventure, perfect for fans of The Graveyard Book and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

It's been nearly a year since Eve became the only living child to call the land of the undead her home and the Pumpkin King her father-except, Eve was no longer sure just how "living" she actually was, not after what transpired during the Forever Night.

Now, peculiar and magical things are starting to happen to Eve, and she suddenly finds herself slipping through objects like a ghost, or even able to light torches with a mere breath. Stranger still, she's beginning to see a mysterious green-eyed shadow that no one else can. And when the shadow offers Eve a deal that would give someone closest to her the thing they always wanted, Eve is forced into a decision she never wished to make. Torn between friendship and responsibility, where either path could lead to disaster, Eve must make a choice.

One there is no going back from....

About the Author

Steven Banbury grew up surrounded by farmland before eventually moving to a part of California with notably fewer cows. Somewhere along the way he married his legend of a wife, adopted their annoyingly cute dog, and developed a penchant for writing he hasn't seemed to shake.
