Book Title: The Scarecrow and His Servant

Author: Philip Pullman

Review:

This book reminded me alot of the Wizard of Oz, because it too had a scarecrow and the theme of good against evil but, this book is good. Jack is an orphan boy who wants a friend and one day he meets a friendly scarecrow who came to life because of a lightening bolt. They set off on an adventure together but, there's someone out there who doesn't want them to be friends and wants to do away with Jack's new friend.
