Three Ghosts in a Black Pumpkin

Creepy Hollow Adventure Series, Book 1

By: Erika M Szabo, Joe Bonadonna

Narrated by: Kim Pruitt

Golden Book Award Winner. A spooky and funny heroic fantasy adventure for children 8-14. Nikki and her impish cousin, Jack, find a mysterious black pumpkin in the forest on Halloween. A wise talking skeleton, Wishbone, tells them that the ghosts of the Trinity of Wishmothers are trapped inside the pumpkin and can’t be freed without their wands.

The children offer their help, so the skeleton takes them on a journey to the world of Creepy Hollow to retrieve the three wands he hid long ago in Red Crow Forest, the Tower of Shadows, and the Cave of Spooks. Ghoulina, the beautiful vegetarian ghoul, and Catman, who was once a man, join them on their quest. They must face danger and conquer evil every step of the way as they search for the Wands before the wicked Hobgoblin and his henchman, a Tasmanian Devil, can get their hands on them. This is a fun, humorous and touching story for kids, with plenty of character interaction woven into a backdrop of scary danger, heroic action, and lessons to be learned.

fun book

very fun audio book. great listen for kids. Kim Pruitt does such a great job.

Great children story. But could be read but all.

A light tale written for children. The story takes you on a journey to another land. I liked the story and thought it would be a great introduction for children to this kind of fantasy.

There is no corse Language in it, or sex scenes. Although there is some violence it does not go into great details. And because of this I feel that this story could be read by adults and children. There is a child like feel to it.

Narrators voice is high. She does give each character their own individual voice. I advise you to listen to the sample track before buying. But I found her voice to be a bit too high.
