So, without further ado let’s dive right in!!
About The Book:
Genre: Middle Grade, Spooky Mystery
Length: 304 Pages
Publisher: Neem Tree Press
Publishing: 7th September 2023
Synopsis/Blurb:
Roll up, roll up, the Scareground is in town!
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 is about to change when the Scareground returns to Greenwich. Nancy is convinced it holds the answers to her parents’ disappearance. Nancy and her best friend Arthur Green meet the fair’s spooky owner, Skelter, and discover a world full of dark magic and mystery. Nancy must confront her greatest fears to get to the truth. But is she ready for all the secrets the Scareground will reveal?
My Thoughts:
Scareground is a fun middle grade that follows 12-year-old Nancy Crumpet, who likes to hop and climb the rooftops of Greenwich, and o likes to talk to the sky. A fair is coming to town, but her parents, Mr and Mrs Crumpet, aren’t too pleased or excited like the rest of the town. They are refusing to go and have told Nancy she is not allowed to go either, but they won’t tell Nancy why, and she knows they are hiding the real reason. Nancy’s curiosity gets the better of her, and she finds a way to go with her only friend Arthur.
The story is well-written and is easy to follow. I adored the spooky Victorian setting and loved the eerie descriptions of the fair and its surroundings.
I found the characters interesting and fun. They are well crafted and found learning about Nancy’s background very interesting. I also enjoyed watching Nancy’s and Arthur’s friendship being tested and seeing it grow.
This is a great debut novel, and I hope we get to see more fun adventures with Nancy and Arthur.
Scareground is the perfect book for the spooky season that will appeal to both middle graders and adults!
