Grizwold and the Great Pumpkin Oomph

This charming children’s story follows two young friends, Jasper (a brave knight) and Rune (a clever wizard), on a magical Halloween night. While trick-or-treating, they encounter a gigantic, sighing pumpkin in a field—and discover a friendly green monster named Grizwold trapped inside!
Grizwold explains that he lost his magical “Oomph” — a sparkly, silly energy that gives him power and joy. With their Halloween spirit and courage, Jasper and Rune set off on a delightful quest to find the three missing bits of Oomph hidden around the spooky neighborhood: beneath the Crooked Willow, in a whispering garden, and on a tall fence post by the creek.
Using bravery, teamwork, and a sprinkle of magic, the knight and wizard restore Grizwold’s Oomph, freeing him from the pumpkin. Grizwold thanks his new friends, teaching them that with courage and friendship, even the spookiest night can shine bright.
