My Thoughts:
Book: Small Spaces
Author: Katherine Arden
Rating: 5 Out of 5 Stars
I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher, G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers, for providing me with an ARC.
I love Katherine Arden’s books. The Bear and the Nightingale is just a beautiful work of fantasy. I will admit that I wasn’t sure how this was going to play out, but it was amazing. It is middle grade so it’s not as scary as other horror books, but this was creepy enough. I was would rank it up with almost a Coraline level of creepy. I just couldn’t look away. I had to know what was going to happen. Plus, I also read this next to a hayfield, so it added in the creepy factor. I kept wondering if scarecrows were going to jump out at me.
The characters were actually well written and very well developed. I know in middle grade the characters don’t seem to be as rememberable as other levels, but these ones were fantastic. I mean, it is Katherine Arden and she does some of the best character development that I have seen in books. Ollie is the main character. She lives with her dad, has lost her mom, and is very bookish. She’s really bright and a bit of a loner. She saves a book from being thrown away, which is where all of the trouble starts. She and her class go on a field trip to a farm. It is here that we met some very interesting characters. We have the normal school kids and the creepy characters.
And they are creepy characters, let me tell you. I never used to be bothered by scarecrows, but after reading this one, I think I may have to rethink my views. You know, now that I think about it, they are kind of creepy.
The setting is really good. We go to a very rural area, like where I live, and the bus breaks down. There’s no cell service and there’s this rather creepy fog moving in. Yeah and it’s fall. The prefect time for some scary things to happen. I got lots of good, fun Halloween vibes running through my veins as the plot got more and more intense. It was just, wow…Yeah, this is the kind of horror that I actually enjoy. Horror doesn’t have to be gory and violent, give me a good ghost story anytime.
Everything happens so quickly and leaves you wondering what is going to happen next. Katherine is very good at pulling the reader in and making you want to find out what is going to happen next. Agh! Once I started reading, I just couldn’t look away.
This book is out now. I highly recommend it.
