Author Description

Lexile Level: 620 L Grade Level 3-7 Elizabeth Weller is the new kid at school. But rural Idaho is far from the suburbs of Chicago, especially when everywhere you look there's corn. But something is wrong with the corn. Cobs aren't supposed to have wiggling black and brown strands, right? But the odd corn isn't the strangest thing Elizabeth's seen. Nearly everyone she's met has deep wrinkles in their foreheads, like they've been frowning too much. And every night in the fields outside her new home an eerie cry carries through the air.
