It's Homecoming at Ravensville High, and Annette and Penny are both
longing to get asked to the big dance. Annette's hopes center around Pete Randt,
who seems on the verge of asking her, but is just too darn shy.
The trees are in their peak with autumn color, and Halloween is only two
weeks away. The girls have set up a pumpkin stand on the front porch to raise
money to buy a horse.
But a drug ring has descended upon rural Ravensville, with kids dropping
left and right.
Meanwhile, Pete's older cousin Luke arrives for an extended visit... and
he's got his eye on Annette...
Ham radio plays a part in solving the third mystery in this '60s era
Annette Vetter adventure series.

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
About
The Pouting Pumpkin Mystery
There isn't a lovelier time of the year in
Wisconsin than the woods in October, with the splendor of autumn colors and
Indian Summer afternoons.
My teen-age years hold precious memories as a
time when I came to appreciate nature, and the bonding of special friends.
Annette, of course, is the girl I always
wanted to be -- bold, rational, and grounded -- but mostly a girl who had the
privilege of growing up in the country.
The ham radio theme in The Pouting
Pumpkin Mystery was inspired by my oldest brother, Jon Schumacher, whose
ham hobby since childhood always fascinated me. At age 62 he is still a ham
operator out of Pahrump, Nevada, at KNV1, and his wife, Sally, is a ham at
KE7FDD.
Annette and Penny's desire to own a horse
together motivates them into growing a pumpkin patch and selling them to raise
the needed funds. When the Duncan's hired hand, Dave Beck, suggests they would
make more money selling carved jack-o-lanterns, they take him up on his idea...
never suspecting the man's true intentions at offering them some helpful advice.
Annette can't seem to make up her mind which
boy she likes best in The Pouting Pumpkin Mystery, because even
though she's set her sights on Pete Randt, his cousin's pretty groovy... and
then... oh dear, there's those mixed-up feelings about her best friend's
brother Tim!
