Description
Twelve-year-old Nancy Crumpet lives above a bakery and her life is a delightful mix of flour, salt, and love.
Yet her mind is brimming with questions no one can answer: Why did her birth parents disappear? Why can she speak with the sky? And why must she keep her mysterious birthmark hidden?
Everything changes when the Scareground returns to Greenwich. When Nancy and her best friend meet the fair’s spooky owner, Skelter, and discover a world full of dark magic and mystery, she must confront her greatest fears to get to the truth. But is Nancy ready for the secrets the Scareground will reveal?
Advance Praise
[Scareground] is a beautifully lyrical story that has everything a reader could want from middle-grade fantasy: a spooky adventure, plucky heroes, devious villains, a mystery to solve and a wonderfully original setting. Nancy and Arthur’s growing friendship has you rooting for them as they face the excitement and terror of the frightening Scareground, and the final showdown they have with the creepy Skelter Tombola and shadowy Agramon will have you hanging on the edge of your seat as you devour the pages to find out what happens next. A fantastically imaginative story for 9-12s that’s bursting with all the fun (and fear!) of the fair, and one that adults will love too.—VICTORIA WILLIAMSON, award-winning author of War of the Wind
