Faye Bright always felt that she was different from other people. After accidentally discovering her late mother's diary, she finally understood the reason for this feeling. In addition to the recipe for pudding with jam, among the notes there were spells, descriptions of rituals, sketches of strange creatures and runes... It was a witchcraft book. Her mother was a witch. And Fay inherited her gift. It couldn’t come at a better time, because the crow people - the army of living scarecrows - are already close. Their charismatic pumpkin-headed leader threatens the villagers. Their strange magic frightens Faye. Armed with her mother's book, her trusty bicycle, the help of two elderly ladies and the ability to ring church bells, Fay finds herself on the front lines of a war no one could have imagined...
