Katherine Arden: Small Spaces (2019, Penguin Publishing Group)
English language
Published July 15, 2019 by Penguin Publishing Group.
"After eleven-year-old Ollie's school bus mysteriously breaks down on a field trip, she has to take a trip through scary woods, and must use all of her wits to survive. She must stick to small spaces"--
Fun little middle school horror novel, which I probably would have devoured as a kid.
It wasn't as enjoyable to me as a grown up as for example The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In a Ship of Her Own Making or Nevermoor and Wundersmith but I think it's quite good for the actual target group.
I've heard that reading horror can help with anxiety (Though I think the person who mentioned that had grown-up horror books in mind) and I have to admit, reading this was one of the most "Relaxing" reads I've had in a long time. I didn't get super terrified (note that I finished it over the course of two days and not one) and I think I'm starting to get a taste for horror.
