About this title

Synopsis

A super-readable and accessible mystery in this sci-fi adventure with an ecological twist.

What’s creeping around the farm?

When an unidentified plane crashes into the fields next to Dunwick Farm in Crooked Oak, it quickly becomes clear that it was carrying some unusual cargo. As the townspeople fall suddenly ill and animals start behaving strangely, best friends Pete, Krish, and Nancy are determined to find out what was in the boxes on board the plane. But the more truth they uncover, the more the trio becomes entangled in a terrifying web of conspiracies.

A mystery is stirring at Dunwick Farm in this spine-tingling middle-grade supernatural adventure, perfect for fans of R. L. Stine and Margaret Peterson Haddix.
