Truly creepy/scary books are not easy to come by at the middle grade level, but this one definitely gets there. Ollie has just lost her mom--it's just her, her dad, and her books now. She loves books, so when she sees a woman about to throw one into the river, she knows she has to rescue it. The woman is straight up distraught the Ollie has her book, but she's not giving it back. She starts to read it, but hasn't finished it before her class field trip to a farm goes downhill really quickly. Is the book connected to what's happening to Ollie's classmates, and can she save them from a truly bizarre fate?
