The Scarecrow and His Servant

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A brilliantly funny and moving tale of friendship, sumptuously repackaged with new illustrations from Peter Bailey.

Featuring wonderful new illustrations from Peter Bailey, this brilliantly funny and moving tale by multi-award-winning Philip Pullman is perfect for readers young and old.

One night, during a terrible thunderstorm, a boy named Jack shelters in a barn. The following morning, he is confused to find a scarecrow with a turnip head calling out to him. For a moment, he thinks he is imagining it. But he isn't; the scarecrow has been struck by lightning in exactly the right way to bring him completely to life.

Jack becomes the scarecrow's personal servant, and together they decide to set out and see the world. It is a journey that neither of them could have possibly imagined, filled with adventure—and it will change them both in ways they never expected.

The Scarecrow and His Servant is a delightful narrative of unexpected friendship and adventure, exquisitely rendered by Philip Pullman.
