About This Book

Jodie loves visiting her grandparents' farm. Her grandma's chocolate chip pancakes are the best and her grandpa tells the scariest stories. But this summer the farm has really changed. The cornfields are sparse. Grandma and Grandpa seem worn out. And the single scarecrow has been replaced by twelve evil-looking ones. Then one night Jodie sees something really odd. The scarecrows seem to be moving.
