When the scarecrow in the north field raises its arm, the counting begins. After her brother Theo brings home a box of strange black feathers, twelve-year-old Mara hears a sound no one else can-a bell tolling softly from the corn. Each night the toll grows louder. Each morning, something on the farm has changed. Clocks stop. Animals vanish. And the scarecrow's smile seems to stretch wider. As the numbers rise, the harvest turns hungry. Mara's family fights to hold their world together while whispers in the field beg her to finish the count. But stopping means losing her brother forever. Continuing might destroy the valley. When silence itself starts to breathe, Mara realizes the truth: some songs are never meant to end. Perfect for fans of Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, The Scarecrow's Song blends small-town dread, creeping folklore, and an unforgettable twist that will linger long after you turn the final page.
