Saadia Faruqi

Marya loves fall. Every year, her family goes to the town’s pumpkin patch and picks out the best pumpkin. But this year, after she sees her frenemy, Alexa, winning a big, cool pumpkin-shaped trophy, Marya knows she’s got to win a trophy for something.

It just so happens that her school is going to hold its own fall festival, with games and food and even a hayride.

But when Marya is so focused on winning, is she losing sight of what really matters?
