Small Spaces by Katherine Arden
The day after she saves a book from being thrown in a creek, Ollie goes on a field trip to a farm that is eerily similar to the one in the book, which she has begun reading. When the bus breaks down on the way back to school, she knows that something is up and escapes into the nearby woods with two classmates. Now they must save their class from an old evil in a new face.
Nice, solid middle grade horror book with real heart and a strong message about friendship, family and grief. I really hope it gets some award recognition.
The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee
This one is a sequel to last year's The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue and I think I actually like it even more, if that is even possible. We follow Felicity, the sister in the story, as she heads into an adventure in her attempt to get medical training to become a doctor. Along the way, she befriends a pirate, reconnects with an old friend, and discovers an amazing secret in the Mediterranean. And, yes, petticoats are, in fact, involved; but romance is not. Which is perfect for this character and this story.
