The Harvest by John Ward

In Waverly, Iowa, the cornfields hide more than crops.

After suffering the loss of her father, the Myers family was left reeling. Mounting bills and inflation began to pile onto Melissa and her brother Zak’s mother. When she saw an advertisement for a house for sale in Waverly, Iowa, it almost seemed too good to be true. She jumped at the chance for a fresh start and the added affordability, hoping to continue raising her family in peace.

But from the moment they pulled into town, things felt…off. A long line of scarecrows stood ominously along the street next to a sprawling cornfield. A sign above them read “Scarecrow Row.” These silent sentinels would only be the beginning of the horrors waiting for the Myers family in Waverly.

 Scareville: The Harvest is a gripping middle grade novel perfect for fans of supernatural suspense, creepy small-town mysteries, and scarecrow horror.
