Spookley the Square Pumpkin is teased by the other pumpkins because of his odd shape. His new friends - three hilarious spiders named Edgar, Allan and Poe - try to convince Spookley that square or not, he has a right to be the Pick of the Patch on Halloween. Spookley isn’t sure he has what it takes until a mighty storm threatens to destroy the entire patch, sending the round pumpkins rolling towards the raging river. Just in time for Halloween, Spookley - the “Official Spokes Pumpkin” for National Bullying Prevention Month - teaches us that sometimes being different can make all the difference in the world!
