The Pumpkin Project: Winner of ITV Lorraine's Top Tales
Katie Smith
- Winner of ITV Lorraine’s Top Tales 2016 *
Lottie and her class are given an end of term project competition called Big and Small. The problem is, class show-off Penelope Pembleton-Puce always wins.
But this time, Lottie and Gramps come up with a brilliant idea: to grow a giant pumpkin!
With the help of grandad’s old vegetable growing tricks, they set about trying to break world records for the biggest vegetable ever. But this pumpkin is fussy, demanding and has a mind of its own, and with Penelope willing to do literally anything to win AGAIN, does Lottie really stand a chance?
A beautiful, heart-warming story about friendship, family, and growing confidence … as well as a large vegetable!

It was a very good book, even if I had read it before

This book is an amazing , funny and tragic story where the Year Three's have some homework to do. The theme is big and small and Lottie Parson decides to grow a humongous pumpkin! I would recommend this book for all eager people!

I liked the porcupine poo, and what happened to Penelope. My mum likes chocolate and doing games on her phone, but she's not like Lottie's mum.

I liked this book because I like the pumpkin. It's soooo big! Lottie is my favourite character because she wants to beat Penelope - a girl who wants to take Lottie's plan for her own project. She does beat Penelope at the end of the book and she wins a box of chocolates which she gives to her mummy.
