New girl Hattie hopes a scarecrow will protect her den at school, but she soon realises she can’t control him … A darkly comic tale from acclaimed author Nicola Skinner.

When lonely Hattie feels out of place at her new school, she creates a scarecrow—Crow. Hattie wants him to guard the den she finds in the playground, the only place she feels happy and comfortable.

Poor Crow really just wants to have fun with the other children, but he takes his job for Hattie very seriously, and his behaviour starts to get scarier and scarier.

Will Hattie realise that Crow is ruining her chance to make new friends before it’s too late?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.

The book by Nicola Skinner is praised for its dark humour and emotionally intelligent storytelling. It's a supernatural tale that combines a girl's apprehension about starting a new school with a macabre edge reminiscent of Frankenstein. The narrative's focus on loneliness, friendship, and adapting to change resonates with readers, especially those experiencing similar life transitions.
