This looks like an adorable series! The setting and characters are charming and I like the dynamic between Deja and Josiah. Can't wait to read more!

Very cute start to a series! The characters are relatable for teenagers and the banter is exactly what I would expect from Rowell.

I received a copy of a teaser for this book from a the publisher and Netgalley,.. already hooked by the teaser. I feel sufficiently teased and now just want the book please and thank you!

I didn't realize that this was only a teaser when I requested it. But these first 18 pages has made me very excited to read the whole book. The characters seem authentic and Josiah and Dena have some witty banter. I always love Faith Erin Hicks' illustrations.

I appreciate the opportunity from NetGalley and the publisher to preview the first 2 chapters of Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell in exchange for my honest review.

This book is very visually appealing, and will definitely grab the attention of many of my students with the cover alone. Once inside, the book tells the story of Josiah and Deja, two friends who are spending their last season working at the pumpkin patch together. Deja, being the good friend that she is, refuses to let Josiah waste his last opportunity to talk to the girl he's been mooning over from afar. The sample I read ended with Josiah and Deja running through what Josiah will say when he first speaks to "the fudge girl". Looks like a fun fall read for my middle school students!

I know there are only 18 pages but I am hooked. I cannot WAIT to get my hands on the rest of this story. Deja is an incredible character and I love how she talks to her friend. She is forcing Josiah to finally talk to "Fudge Girl" after three years of working at the same pumpkin patch. The illustrations by Faith Erin Hicks do not disappoint. Awesome illustrations by one of the best out there!

I was really looking forward to getting an advanced look at this graphic novel. Ever since I heard Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks were working together I was hooked. Then I realized this was only 18 pages of the book. I still loved the excerpt and can't wait to read the rest, but wish I hadn't gotten my hopes up for this arc when it was only a quarter (maybe less) of the finished book.

I can't review this book as only 18 pages are included here of over 200. Where is the rest of the novel?

When I saw "18 pages" I was a little bit disappointed, not going to lie, but then... the story already got me hooked even if we only caught a glimpse of it. I can't wait to be able to read it all, since I've been a Rainbow Rowell fan for a while. The illustrations are amazing, I'm loving the style. It goes so well with the "fall" theme!
Summer can't come soon enough.

From this excerpt, Pumpkinheads is a cute best friends story about moving on from something that you can no longer come back too and what it means to leave with no regrets. The art style is super cute, the characters of Deja and Josiah are well rounded and I'm excited to see where the rest of this graphic novel goes!

Good beginning - didn't realize it wasn't the whole book when I requested it.
Looking forward to reading it when it comes out.

Pretty adorable graphic novel from popular YA author Rainbow Rowell. This was just a snippet, but it looks great and reads well. I already like Deja and Josiah. I definitely want to read more.

I’m already sucked into the story, and I only got to see 18 pages! The line that’s already stuck in my head is “friends don’t let friends lead small lives.” I’m already a big fan of Rainbow Rowell, and I can’t wait to see where this story goes. The illustrations are beautiful and draw you right in.

I love the autumnal feel to the artwork and the main characters are very likeable so far. I'm a fan of Rainbow Rowell's writing so this will be an automatic purchase for me. I really enjoyed the sampler and can't wait to read more.

I need the rest of this story! I will definitely buy this for my library. We are big Rainbow Rowell fans.

I'm in love. I love this sweet sweet autumnal story and the cute main guy! I'm only gutted that it ended and I'm going to have to wait for more.

I'm interested in seeing more about where this story goes. It started out a little stagnant but definitely got rolling by part two. Rowell's signature flow began to show then with Josiah and Deja's banter and it picked up. The pictures were well done and helped convey the tone.

This tiny preview was NOT enough!! What happens to Josie?! I am already in love with this book! My students are too young for it (K-4) but my own kiddos will love this! I can't wait to get my hands on the whole thing!

Eighteen pages is not enough. I am intrigued, my interest is piqued! My fingers are crossed that the rest of this graphic novel will be posted as an ARC soon.

I did not expect this would be a teaser, but it looks sweet so far. TBH, it was pretty short, so it is hard to get a great idea of where the story is going, aside from the obvious romance, so it is hard to evaluate it. However, the characters seem authentic and sweet and the art is great.
