Book source ~ TWR Tour
When 12-yr-old Nancy was a baby she was adopted by the Crumpets. They are bakers and they live above their bakery. Nancy loves them, but wonders where she came from, who her parents are, and why the Sky talks to her. When the Scareground returns to Greenwich, Nancy pieces together a bunch of clues and decides she needs to go to it even if the Crumpets have forbidden it. With her best friend, Arthur Green, at her side, she can do anything. But is the Scareground going to prove their undoing?
Ooooh! Spooky, mysterious, and just a bit dangerous makes this a perfect tale for a reader with a sense of adventure, whimsy, and imagination. Nancy and Arthur are great characters inhabiting a creative world I’m glad I entered. I love that Nancy talks with the Sky and the Sky “talks” back. That Arthur is smart and supportive yet has things he is dealing with though that doesn’t stop him from enjoying time with his best friend. The kids could be obnoxious in their actions, but they aren’t.
Scareground leans toward horror without actually being horrifying and in trying to find her origins, Nancy learns more than she bargained for, but that’s what makes this a compelling read. Live, learn, and grow. We should all take a page from Nancy’s book. ( )
