The Creature in Evan's Creek Mary Ruth Robindolph

"... In the corn field, a single line of sagging brown twine hung between two well-tended rows. Strung with aluminum pie pans that were spaced evenly apart, a small cluster of rusty nails dangled from each of the silvery discs, like metal tassels." Full of intrigue and suspense, Fred and Jack Tally visit their Great Uncle's farm for the adventure of a lifetime. Entangled in the enchantment all around them, the two boys witness the birth of Pete, a tangled mass of pumpkin vines that unfurl to form a gangly creature that terrorizes the haunted ranch.
