Two other kids from the bus, Coco and Brian, also follow her into the mist. Weird things begin happening and when their school bus breaks down in the middle of really thick mist, Ollie doesn’t stick around to see what happens. When her class gets to the farm, Ollie quickly realizes that it may not be just a coincidence. The ghost story is eerily similar to the story in Ollie’s book, but she tried to wave it off as coincidence. In school the next day, one of her classmates gets the teacher talking about the ghost story of the farm that they are about to visit to learn about agriculture. Ollie brings the book back home with her and is immediately immersed in it. The story is about a girl, Ollie, who steals a book from a woman who was about to throw it in a river. I wasn’t expecting this to be nearly as creepy as it turned out to be! It was so atmospheric and the writing was so spot on that I could really imagine everything playing out in my head. Let’s dive into my review! My Thoughts on Small Spaces by Katherine Arden When Netgalley did a 24 hour free giveaway, I snagged a copy immediately! But of course, things got a little crazy and I just never got around to it. I had been meaning to pick this one since I heard the author mention she was working on it when my book club saw her speak. While labeled middle grade, this one REALLY gave me the creeps!!

Small Spaces by Katherine Arden is a super creepy tale filled with terrifyingly thick mist, scarecrows that come alive, and a haunting family history.
