All Adrianne wants is her father's attention. All her father wants is fame and riches. All the mayor wants is votes. And all the people want is jobs. All of them have their hopes pinned on The Big Squash, the 13-foot vegetable that sprouts almost overnight in Adrianne's garden. If the Guinness Book of Records officially declares The Big Squash to be "The Biggest Squash in the World," the publicity will draw a new fertilizer company to the town, which will brings jobs for the people, votes for the mayor, and fames and riches for Adrianne's father. Then maybe, just maybe, Adrianne will get her father's attention. No one suspects, however, that The Big Squash might have a mind of its own.
