PUMPKIN PATCH PRINCESS

Hidden within the seemingly idyllic life of a pumpkin farmer's daughter in the Kingdom of Indigo lies a secret yearning for something more. While others are content with their lot, Noelle Simpkins dreams of a world beyond the familiar fields and shoe shop. A chance encounter with a mysterious flyer advertising openings for Fairy Godmother Trainees at the prestigious C.A.F.E. ignites a spark of hope. But pursuing her dreams means defying her parents' expectations and stepping into a world of magic, royalty, and perhaps even danger, where goblins roam and witches duel. Will Noelle find her place among the stars, or is she destined for a life among the pumpkins?

The early morning sun had just begun to peek over the hills, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink as you crept out of your bedroom. Every floorboard on the old staircase seemed determined to betray your presence, each creak a loud accusation in the quiet house. You held your breath, carefully avoiding the spots you knew would groan under your weight.

Just as you reached the bottom, a snag on the railing sent a jolt of panic through you, nearly sending you tumbling down the final steps. A drowsy voice from the next room cut through the silence. "Is that you, Noelle? Where are you going at this hour?"

"Fishing with Geoff, Dad," you called back, the lie feeling heavy on your tongue. "I'll be back for breakfast."

A grunt of assent and the sound of your father rolling over like a beached whale confirmed you were in the clear, accompanied by the soft snuffling and snoring of your mother. You slipped out the door, the fresh morning air a welcome relief, clutching the secret hope of finding a different path.
