It Watches in the Dark
It Watches in the Dark | Jeff Strand

"She glanced over her shoulder. Had the scarecrow moved? It stood there, smile stitched on its face, but now it felt like a smirk." Prepare to be scared silly in this creepy middle-grade novel! Twins seek medical help in a remote village after their father is in a canoeing accident...only to discover the scarecrow that stands watch in town may have a stronger hold over the residents than expected. Perfect for fans of R.L. Stine, Dan Poblocki, and Mary Downing Hahn. Twins Oliver and Trisha love going on adventures with their dad. Canoeing and camping on the Champion River will be their best trip yet! But when they capsize in rapids, their father is knocked unconscious. Alone and without cell phone reception, their only choice is to continue down river for help. Hours of paddling brings them to an old dock, and a narrow path leads them to a small village. The townspeople are kind and helpful, but strangely focused on the giant scarecrow in the village square. "He watches over us," the twins are told in whispers. "He keeps us safe." An old woman warns the twins not to spend the night in the village. Not if they ever want to leave. But with the sun soon to set and their father not well enough to be moved, how can they escape? More importantly, can they survive?

This was interesting. Two twins are on a camping trip with their father. After an accident, the sister and brother must search for help and come upon a creepy town that is under the protection of a giant scarecrow.

A story about the power of sibling/twin bond

Hi @BookwormAHN 🐈‍⬛😊💝.

This book gave me zero search words.

Between the early hours of Oct. 20th to the early hours of the 23rd I managed to read seven and a half hours total, equalling 70 points.

Plus 25 extra points because this was on my original, TBR start points post.

These 95 points together with my previous 115 points all totals to 210 pts.

🐈‍⬛😉👍.

Thank You.
