"Have you ever seen a pumpkin seed?

I expect you have without realising it.

They’re quite small and almost perfectly flat. Each one is just a little bigger than the size of your thumbnail.

Usually pumpkin seeds are a browny green colour. If you took the green of a leaf and mixed it with the brown of a sandy beach, then you’d get the browny green of a pumpkin seed.

A pumpkin seed is shaped a little like a teardrop, or maybe like a fish without a tail, or perhaps – if you hold it sideways – like an eye. It has a sharp, pointed tip and a smooth, rounded end.

Pumpkin seeds are very delicate. If you hold one between your fingers, you don’t have to squeeze too hard for it to crumble into tiny pieces.

Pumpkin seeds are quite easy to find. If you’ve ever been shopping for food, you’ve probably walked straight past thousands of them. They’re usually kept in small plastic bags sealed tight to stop any air from getting inside.

The reason why they’re sold in shops is because pumpkin seeds are quite delicious. When you crunch them between your teeth and feel the crumbs scatter on your tongue, their flavour spreads all the way through your mouth. They taste nutty and salty and sharp and smoky and a tiny bit warm, as though they’ve just come out of an oven. You can put them in bread, or sprinkle them on a salad or just eat them on their own.

But I expect you know all this already."

---

Areesha is a little girl with a very unusual job. Every day, hour after hour, she takes pumpkin seeds out of their shells. She puts the seeds in one jar and the empty shells in another. But no matter how hungry she gets, she must never eat any of the pumpkin seeds. Not a single one. That is The Rule. It must always be obeyed. Nobody knows what will happen if it's broken.

One day, when Areesha's hunger becomes too much too bear, she decides to break The Rule. What happens next is stranger, more surprising and more frightening than she could ever have imagined.

Absorbing, moving and ultimately uplifting, The Pumpkin Seed is a magical, modern fairy-tale with wondrous characters, fantastical settings and an unforgettable conclusion.
