And why are there so many <i>giant</i> flies?<br/> <br/> Jake spends every summer on his grandpa's farm. But this year, things are a little weird. First, there are huge flies everywhere. Second, Grandpa is acting kind of funny. And third, Jake's friend Kate keeps trying to scare him with creepy stories. Last year's tale about the swamp creature was bad enough, but this year's story about a hand that someone found in a farmer's field is even worse. And it wasn't just any hand either. It was a giant's hand!<br/> <br/> <i>It might just be the creepiest story of all.</i> It can't be real. Can it?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A fast-paced read...funny and creepy-- "Richard Scrimger"<br><br>A tall tale for around the campfire.-- "Allan Stratton"<br><br>Jake's adventures and his questions will attract readers interested in ghost stories and mysteries, as well as adventure.
