Description

The book tells the story of Jodie and Mark, who visit their grandparents' farm and find that the scarecrows are alive and causing havoc. Aside from her grandparents' unusual fatigue and their farm's unusual barrenness, Jodie notices the single scarecrow that once stood in the cornfield has been replaced by a dozen creepy, creeping ones. Jodie loves visiting her grandparent's farm. Although it's not the most exciting place in the world, Grandpa tells great scary stories. The cornfields are sparse and Grandpa put out twelve evil-looking scarecrows. One night Jodie looked out the window and saw something really odd, the scarecrows seem to be moving.
