Small Spaces

Small Spaces is a bewitching middle grade debut from the bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale. Ollie finds comfort in books after experiencing a tragedy. When she steals a strange book and reads about a girl named Beth and a sinister specter known as "the smiling man," she discovers the story may be true. As Ollie and her classmates find themselves stranded near a haunted farm, Ollie's broken wristwatch delivers a terrifying message: RUN. With the bus driver's final piece of advice to avoid large places, a chilling adventure begins in the dark woods.
