Summary:
Chased by a vengeful
witch, hunted by an undead corpse, and guided by a secretive preacher, a boy
must protect a magical lantern that can either save Boston . . . or destroy it.
In October of 1730, young Rip Van Winkle sneaks into a graveyard and comes face-to-face with the ghost of William Blaxton, the first settler of Boston. Warning Rip that the city is in danger, Blaxton gives him a mysterious gift: a pumpkin lantern with power over life and death. Before fading into midnight, the ghost tells Rip to take the lantern to Feathertop, a mythical pumpkin-headed scarecrow.
Pursued by Mistress Hibbins, a witch of terrifying power, and hunted by the nightmarish Midnight Minister, young Rip must rely on the aid of Jonathan Edwards, a stern and secretive preacher, and Nathaniel, a talkative, know-it-all raven. Guided by the magical light of the lantern, Rip races across New England to find Feathertop, save Boston, and become a most unlikely hero!
From the bestselling, award-winning author Seth Adam Smith comes The Pumpkin Lantern--a fantasy novel influenced by the writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Lloyd Alexander, and C. S. Lewis. Loaded with humor, action, suspense, and fascinating American history, The Pumpkin Lantern is also a poignant fable about faith, family, and the power of life over death.

About Author
My
name is Seth Adam Smith. You might recognize my name from an article
titled “Marriage Isn’t For You,” or from a number of programs on
suicide
prevention. I’m a writer and blogger that writes about (and struggles
with) chronic depression.
When
I was twenty years old, I made a serious attempt on my life. Miraculously, I
survived and since that time I’ve learned some valuable, life-changing
lessons about how to handle my depression and move forward. The central mission
and message of my life is to look to the light and keep moving
forward. To me, this also means maintaining a firm belief in God and helping others
along the rocky road of life.
