(1) YA Illustrated by Faith Erin Hicks. Color by Sarah Stern. High-school seniors Josiah (earnest, insecure) and Deja (extroverted, charming) have worked together at a theme park–like pumpkin patch for three years. It's their final shift, and Deja helps Josiah pursue his crush: Fudge Shoppe Girl. It becomes gradually clear that the friendship could blossom into something more. Rowell's dialogue is sharp and punchy; Hicks's panel illustrations expertly capture the lovable main characters and the entertaining particulars of this autumnal setting.
