Ever since she was a little girl, Rebecca Estelle has hated pumpkins. Baked pumkins, steamed pumpkins, boiled pumpkins. Stewed pumkins, mashed pumkins, rotten pumpkins. Enough Pumpkins! When an enormous pumpkin falls off a truck and smashes in her yard, Rebecca Estelle shovels dirt over the pieces and forgets about them. But those slimy pumpkin smithereens sprout up in spring, and she finds herself wih a sea of pumpkins. What will she do with so many pumpkins, when she can't stand the sight of even one?
