Description

Twelve-year-old Nancy Crumpet lives above a bakery and her life is a delightful mix of flour, salt, and love.

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
