Cet été, Julie et Mark passent un mois à la ferme de leurs grands-parents. Ils ont hâte d'écouter les fameuses histoires de grand-papa et de manger les délicieuses crêpes de grand-maman. Mais pourquoi leurs grands-parents ont-ils aussi peur d'Henry, leur ouvrier agricole? Et que font ces horribles épouvantails au milieu du champ de maïs?

Julie 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 And the single scarecrow has been replaced by twelve evil-looking ones.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 Julie sees something really odd. The scarecrows seem to be moving. Twitching on their stakes. Coming alive . . .
