Book excerpt: Summary about this story: "The Pumpkin's Secret" is an exciting story about two best friends, Mia and Leo, who go on an amazing Halloween journey. The couple loves their quiet neighborhood and is looking forward to October and all the fun things that come with Halloween, like making pumpkins. They don't know that this year will be different because a stunning secret will be hiding inside a normal pumpkin. They choose a pumpkin from Farmer Jenkins' pumpkin farm that looks like it has something bad in its stem. This marks the beginning of their trip. They have no idea that this pumpkin is more than just a strange puzzle wrapped in a gourd. Under a night sky full of stars, Mia and Leo start to carve their creation, a friendly scarecrow. They are surprised when a soft golden glow comes out of the pumpkin and reveals a secret doorway. They go into a world called Pumpkin Ville, which is all about pumpkins, with their hearts beating fast. Everything in Pumpkin Ville is made out of pumpkins, from people to houses to trees. Mia and Leo went on a trip that was unique and charming, which made them want to go on it. They dance with Pumpkin Jig, a lively pumpkin scarecrow, meet Jack, an old and wise pumpkin, who tells them stories about the past of Pumpkin Ville, and eat treats made by Pumpkin Pie, a beautiful pumpkin cook. One of the most shocking things they found was that the pumpkin they had carved back home had come to life in Pumpkin Ville and was ready to go on adventures with them. Mia and Leo are very interested in Pumpkin Ville, but they miss their houses and families. They ask their friendly guide, Pumpkin Pops, to help them find their way back with sad hearts. They follow Pumpkin Pops through a pumpkin tunnel that sparkles and takes them and their magical friend back home. They are thrilled by their amazing journey and the fact that they have found a magical world under a simple pumpkin. Still, this is not the end of their story. Mia and Leo keep carving pumpkins for Halloween in the hopes that they will meet someone else amazing. Mia and Leo remember the lessons they learned in Pumpkin Ville as they grow up and become kind, caring people. Their pumpkins are a reminder that just beyond the ordinary, there might be something amazing waiting to be found in the world of "The Pumpkin's Secret." They also act as goodwill ambassadors in their community, spreading cheer, kindness, and the magic of Halloween all year long. Their story shows how selflessness, and the power of honest wishes can change the world, leaving a legacy of love and kindness. Their pumpkins have stood the test of time, which is a sign of how strong their friendship is and how much they want to make the world a better place. They also believe that there is always room for extraordinary opportunities every day. The touching story of Mia and Leo is a gentle reminder that the real magic of life can be found in acts of kindness, the comfort of friendship, and the power of sincere wishes. The story starts out like this: Before there was anything, there were two best friends named Mia and Leo. They lived in a small, beautiful area with tall trees and rolling hills. The kind of friendship that made everyone feel warm and fuzzy who saw it was famous. Leo and Mia were the best of friends. They laughed and did things together all the time. Mia's chestnut hair moved in the wind like fall leaves, and Leo's blue eyes looked like he was up to no good. With each passing season, their bond grew stronger, but it wasn't until Halloween, the best day of the year, that their hearts really came to life. The whole neighborhood was buzzing with excitement in the weeks before the scary holiday. Every house had ghosts and pumpkins on the porch, and the kids were busy making their costumes. But for Mia and Leo, Halloween was more than just a day; it was a season and a wonderful trip that was yet to come. As October began, the air was filled with a certain kind of excitement. The red and gold trees told secrets to anyone who would listen, and the smell of falling leaves could be smelled in the cool autumn breeze. During that time, the world seemed to slow down, so Mia and Leo could really enjoy the season they both loved. A trip to Farmer Jenkins' pumpkin patch was something that everyone looked forward to every year. A Halloween treasure trove was hidden away on this nice piece of land on the edge of their town. As far as the eye could see, there were rows and rows of orange pumpkins that were waiting for their big moment. There, dreams grew, and imaginations ran wild, and Mia and Leo couldn't wait to find the right pumpkin. As they walked through the pumpkin patch, their fingers would touch the rough, bumpy skins of the gourds. Their hearts were full of wonder, and they had big smiles on their faces. When they found pumpkins with strange shapes, they would laugh and think of the stories they could tell. When they thought they had found "the one," they would see another pumpkin a few rows down that was even more beautiful. This year was different, though. Mia and Leo were looking at the rows of orange balls when they noticed one that caught their eye and seemed to be talking to them. It wasn't the biggest or roundest, but there was something interesting about it. Its skin was a deep orange color, and its stem was bent in a funny way, as if it was hiding something important. Mia yelled, "This one!" with the excitement that only Halloween can bring out in a kid, and the two of them rolled the chosen pumpkin toward the checkout line, rustling leaves and making a lot of noise as they went. Farmer Jenkins, a friendly man with a white beard so thick that Santa Claus would be jealous, smiled at them. Even though he had seen many kids choose pumpkins over the years, Mia and Leo's picks stood out. "That's a special one you've got there, kids," he said, referring to a magical world. Mia and Leo tried to get Farmer Jenkins to tell them more, but he just ignored them with a strange grin. Mia and Leo got together in their garden that night as the sun went down below the horizon and turned the sky orange and purple. They got out their carving tools and started carving the pumpkin they had picked. As they skillfully drew a friendly skeleton on it, they thought about how it would look when it was done. As Leo cut into the pumpkin, the moon cast a soft white shimmer over their work. But then, as if it were being pushed by something else, a bright light shot out of the pumpkin's cut. It gave Mia and Leo a warm, alluring glow that made their faces flush. As they looked into the glowing middle of the pumpkin, they gasped in surprise. They were surprised to see a shimmering opening that looked like a window to another world and drew them in by saying they would have an adventure there. They decided to take a risk without thinking twice because they were very interested. Through the portal, they ran away together from their safe neighborhood and garden. They had no idea that the magic in a simple pumpkin would change their lives in such a big way. On the other side of the portal, the world of Pumpkin Ville was waiting to be discovered. It was outside of the realm of fantasy. That's where Halloween really came to life. Every building, tree, and even animal was made out of pumpkins, and each one was brighter and more interesting than the last. As they walked down streets lined with pumpkins, their eyes grew wide with wonder, and their carved faces lit up with smiles. Pumpkin Pops, a happy pumpkin man with a bright orange smile, says that Pumpkin Ville is a beautiful place where pumpkins enjoy Halloween all year long. They were happy to take him up on his offer to lead them. Their trip was full of interesting things they found and new people they met. Pumpkin Jig, a colorful scarecrow who was very good at spinning, joined them in the dance. Jack, a sage-colored pumpkin with a carved face, told them stories about the history of Pumpkin Ville to keep them busy. And they ate the tasty pumpkin treats that Pumpkin Pie, a nice pumpkin chef, had made. Mia and Leo were most excited about how their own pumpkin, which they had made, changed back into their own world. It had also come to life. It was smiling and jumping around, eager to go on adventures with them. Mia and Leo had a good time in Pumpkin Ville, but they knew that their time there was short. They missed their homes, their families, and the places they were used to. They went up to Pumpkin Pops with sad hearts and asked him to help them use the portal to get back home. They found a pumpkin portal that, if they follow Pumpkin Pops, will take them back to their land. They had tears in their eyes as they said goodbye to their new friends, knowing that they would always remember their amazing trip. Mia and Leo went back to their quiet neighborhood and looked at the pumpkin they had carved with smiles on their faces. From their past experiences, they knew that magic can be found in the strangest places, even in the middle of a pumpkin. Mia and Leo continued to carve pumpkins every October because it was a tradition for them. They were sure that something special was hiding beneath the ordinary. Their memories of Pumpkin Ville stayed with them, showing how strong their friendship was and how magical Halloween was. As time went on, Mia and Leo's Halloween traditions became something they looked forward to every year. As they got older, they let other people hang out with them. On cool fall nights, they told wide-eyed kid’s stories about their wonderful trip to Pumpkin Ville. As they carved more and more pumpkins, each with its own story, their love for Halloween grew. As they got older, they learned to appreciate the beauty of the season and became known in their neighborhood as Halloween fans who could turn their small house into a haunted wonderland that could compete with the scariest haunted houses. Still, every Halloween there was a small chance that they would find another great pumpkin. They understood that magic could be found again every time they carved a pumpkin, and not just on a single trip. As the sun went down in the yard on a cool October evening, Mia and Leo began to work on a very complicated pumpkin design. It was a glimpse of a kind spirit, whose ghostly form twisted and spun like strands of smoke. As Leo carefully carved the ghost's face, something wonderful happened again. The pumpkin shined like it did on that night when they were kids and something bad happened. From inside, a soft golden glow filled the air with joy and longing. Leo and Mia gave each other sly looks. They both knew that magic was calling them back. As they reached out to touch the burning pumpkin, they let out a lot of air. Its surface was warm and welcoming, luring them into the shimmering portal that suddenly appeared in front of them. They didn't think twice before taking each other's hands and walking into the unknown. When they came out to the other side, they found out they were in a part of Pumpkin Ville that had never been seen before. This was the Pumpkin Patch of Wishes in Pumpkin Ville, where pumpkins got bigger and stronger. Every pumpkin had a special ability: it could make wishes come true. Wanda, a beautiful pumpkin fairy with a sparkle in her eye, was there to meet them. She told Leo and Mia about the cool things about this special patch and gave them the chance to make a wish, but it had to be true and good for everyone.

Download or read book The Magical Costume written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary about this story: Tommy was a young boy who was active and creative. He lived in the beautiful and quiet town of Pumpkin Hollow, which was surrounded by hills and forests that looked beautiful in the fall. Pumpkin Hollow was known for its beautiful scenery, especially during Halloween, when the line between the real world and the magical was thinner and amazing things could happen. Tommy has always loved Halloween, so he was looking forward to the night when the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The people in the town had a great time celebrating Halloween. They decorated their homes with scary decorations, put happy pumpkins on their doorsteps, and baked pumpkin pies that filled the air with their smell. As October got closer, the joy was clear, and Tommy's heart was full of eagerness. While looking through his grandparents' attic one sunny afternoon, Tommy found an old, dusty box hidden among things that had been forgotten. He found a ghostly white dress with silvery threads that sparkled in the dim light. The dress was made of many layers of fabric and thought. When he put it on, the fabric seemed to fit him perfectly, making him look almost like a ghost. Tommy liked how mysterious the outfit made him feel, so he kept it for himself. He had no idea that this choice would make Halloween night the scariest one of his lives. As the sun went down on Halloween night, Tommy wore the great outfit and walked into a changed Pumpkin Hollow. Children dressed as everything from evil ghouls to friendly witches marched through the streets, which were lit up with lanterns and filled with scary music. Tommy, who was now a real ghost, walked around town. People were amazed by what they saw and couldn't believe what they were seeing. On his way, he stopped in the town square, where he saw ghostly creatures dancing in the moonlight. He joined their airy dance and felt like he had never felt before. As word spread about the mystery ghost, kids and adults gathered to hear Tommy talk about his trips to the spirit world. His words made amazing pictures come to mind, taking the listener on a trip to where he had been. While it was still early in the night, Tommy's spirit friends took him on a thrilling trip through Pumpkin Hollow. They went into the scary forest, where the bent trees cast strange shadows and ghostly animals hid in the dark. The woods seemed full of magic and secrets that were just ready to be found out. They found the famous Whispering Willow, a tree that people say makes dreams come true on Halloween night. Tommy told the tree his most sincere Halloween wish, and the tree gave him lots of sweets and treats in return. That night, they had more adventures, like when they found a secret cave full of sparkling crystals, met a friendly black cat who led them through pumpkin patches, and danced with the spirits. Tommy was sad when the clock struck midnight, which meant Halloween was over, because he knew it was the end of his time as a real ghost. With tears in his eyes, he went back to his grandparents' attic, where the miraculous outfit was carefully kept. Tommy was sure it would be there for him the next time he went out for Halloween. In the years that followed, people loved to tell stories about what Tommy did on Halloween in Pumpkin Hollow. He kept wearing the magical shirt, which had become a sign of his connection to the magical world of the town. Tommy became known as the Pumpkin Hollow Halloween legend, and kids came from all over to hear his stories. This kept the magic alive. Every year, the costume gave him another night of wonder and reminded everyone that Halloween was a time when the world was full of secrets for those with open minds and a spirit of adventure. As the years went by, Tommy was still a respected figure in Pumpkin Hollow. He was a living legend who embodied the spirit of the holiday. The town kept having fun on Halloween, and Tommy's stories made new generations think that the holiday could be magical. So, the story of Tommy, the boy who once turned into a real ghost on Halloween night, shone as brightly as the lights that lined the streets. The magic of Halloween and the spirit of the costume lived on, making new generations wonder and come up with new ideas. Here's how the story starts: Once upon a time, a young boy named Tommy lived in the beautiful and quiet town of Pumpkin Hollow, which was surrounded by red, orange, and gold-colored hills and forests. Pumpkin Hollow was a magical place where each season had its own special charm, but the town really came to life during Halloween. Pumpkin Hollow seemed to have a special connection to the mysterious and supernatural. This connection grew stronger as October got closer, making the air full of excitement. Tommy was a boy who was always interested and full of wonder. His family had lived in Pumpkin Hollow for many generations, and ever since he could walk, he was interested in the stories about Halloweens past. Pumpkin-carving events, hayrides through the woods at night, and the famous Pumpkin Hollow Parade have been around for many years. Every year, he was excited for October to come because he knew it would bring him new activities and the chance to live in a town that was known for its Halloween parties. As September turned into October, Pumpkin Hollow changed. The cold autumn air smelled like dropping leaves, apples, and a little pumpkin spice. Trees that used to be green now wore red and gold robes, and the wind made the leaves rustle like whispers. Pumpkins of different sizes, each turned into a happy jack-o'-lantern with a burning light inside, were left on people's doorsteps. But Pumpkin Hollow wasn't just different because it changed on the outside. It was the atmosphere, the feeling that the air itself was magical. Tommy could feel it, and he and his friends spent their afternoons looking for buried treasures and secrets in the town's nooks and crannies that seemed just out of reach. Tommy's family lived in a nice house that was hidden in an old oak wood on the edge of town. His bedroom window looked out on a forest that was right next to Pumpkin Hollow. He would often spend hours staring out the window and thinking about what was beyond the tree line. It was a beautiful place with fireflies that danced at night and owls that hooted at the moon. While looking through his grandparents' attic one sunny afternoon, Tommy found an old, dusty trunk hidden under a pile of lost treasures. He carefully opened the trunk and showed off a collection of old outfits with a gleam in his eye. There were ragged pirate hats, beautiful dresses with lace and silk, and superhero capes in bright colors. In all the layers of fabric and ideas, one outfit stood out: a ghostly white dress with silvery lines that seemed to shine in the dim attic light. Tommy's heart skipped a beat as he reached out to touch it. He liked the way the fabric felt, and when he put it on, it seemed to fit his small frame exactly. When he looked in the broken mirror in the attic, he saw himself as a real ghost. He was almost clear and had a wispy, ghostly look. Tommy was curious and confused, so he decided to keep the suit for himself. It seemed to invite him into a world full of magic and exciting things to do. He didn't know that what he did would lead to the scariest Halloween night of his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Halloween, lose your heart in Hillingham Hollow… Welcome to Hillingham Hollow, the wholesome Texas suburb where romance abounds and real magic is rumored to be in the air. It’s nearly Halloween in Hillingham Hollow, and Kaelin’s weekend of volunteering just went from potentially fun to passionately fraught, as she finds herself building a carnival booth with a sexy former classmate—and embarking on an emotional roller coaster as heart-pounding and dizzying as any fairground ride. Book 1: A Kiss at Halloween Come volunteer at the carnival, Kaelin, she said. It’ll be fun, she said… When Kaelin’s friend Pauline suggests they build a booth together for the upcoming Halloween carnival, Kaelin has doubts. Sounds like a lot more effort than Kaelin feels willing to expend these days. But then Pauline reminds her that, not only is the carnival part of her friend Joy’s big wedding celebration, it’s also for charity. Kaelin caves, hoping that at least the project might distract her from her usual worries—the ones about being a twenty-year-old still living at home with her parents, jobless, skill-less, and without any sense of direction in her life. But then, at the last minute, Pauline skips out on the booth-building business, leaving Kaelin high and dry. Worse yet, she leaves her paired with a different volunteer, altogether: Max Yang, the hot metalhead mechanic with whom Kaelin kinda-sorta used to flirt back in high school. Sure, Max is a cool person and great to look at—and he might even be willing to spin Kaelin’s whole world around with a few passionate kisses over the weekend—but there’s no way he, a guy Kaelin hardly knows, and who’s so different from anyone else in her life, can hold the key to breaking her out of her rut. Or to unraveling her entire, bewildering future. Can he?
