I also really enjoyed the vulnerability presented here. You’ll never look at a middle school trip to a farm the same way ever again. There’s the mysterious journal, the story of the scarecrows, which then bleeds into Ollie’s contemporary life which all work together for maximum scares. The folklore and history established in this little corner of Vermont adds such depth to the story arc itself. Arden meticulously lays out the breadcrumbs to put together that things aren’t exactly right. This book is steeped in autumnal and spooky atmosphere. But then a school trip goes wrong as they slip between dimensions and it’s up to the three disobedient middle schoolers to save the day.
Adjusting back to school is hard enough already, but Ollie has lost her penchant for restraint by rescuing Coco Zintner from some bullies, even befriending Brian Battersby on their way out of the principal’s office. Ollie Adler is returning to school after tragically losing her mother. Content warning: Dead parent (mentioned), bullying, kidnapping
