A tattered scarecrow stands in the middle of a muddy
field, taking no notice of the violent thunderstorm around
him. But when a bolt of lightning strikes him, fizzing its
way through his turnip head and down his broomstick, the
Scarecrow blinks with surprise–and comes to life.
So begins the story of the Scarecrow, a courteous but
pea-brained fellow with grand ideas. He meets a boy, Jack,
who becomes his faithful servant. Leaving behind his
bird-scaring duties, the Scarecrow sets out for Spring
Valley, with Jack at his side. As the valiant Scarecrow
plunges them into terrifying dangers–battles, brigands,
broken hearts, and treasure islands–he never realizes he’s
being followed by the one family who desperately wishes he’d
never sprung to life. Will the Scarecrow discover the secret
to his past before the crooked Buffalonis close in on him?
