title: Pumpkin Kisses and Harvest Wishes
author: Wheelock, K.B.
description: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.  That was my mother's advice when she told me that I would be staying in the U.S. while the rest of my family went on a mission trip to El Salvador. She said I needed to have a normal high school experience for my senior year, at a private girls boarding school. Thank God for Gram! She talked them into letting me stay with her and attend the local public school, something I had never done before. Private girls' schools were all I had been to before. The best thing, my long-term crush would be in my grade at the new school. I couldn't wait, except for one little problem.  Sean was determined to hate me, to make my life miserable, starting with his nickname for me- Stalker. With the help of my best friend Sadie, her pumpkin farm, and a little bit of pixie dust, we made pumpkinade (that's a thing, right? We live in western NY and lemons are scarce but Pumpkins abound). I'm convinced I can win Sean's heart while having the best Senior year ever! **While this is a young adult book, it does delve into some deeper subjects, such as consent, rape, and bullying. It also the heroine will not choose who to date and at the end of the series end up with multiple guys.**
