Her escape takes a dark turn when she discovers a chilling ghost story about a girl named Beth, the two brothers who loved her, and a peculiar deal made with \"the smiling man\"—a sinister specter who grants your most tightly held wish, but only for the ultimate price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eCaptivated by the tale, Ollie begins to wonder if the smiling man might be real when she stumbles upon the graves of the very people she's been reading about during a school trip to a nearby farm. When her school bus breaks down on the ride home, the strange bus driver tells Ollie and her classmates: \"Best get moving. At nightfall they'll come for the rest of you.\" Nightfall is fast descending when Ollie's previously broken digital wristwatch begins a startling countdown and delivers a terrifying message: \u003cem\u003eRUN\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eOnly Ollie and two of her classmates heed these warnings. As the trio heads into the woods—bordered by a field of scarecrows that seem to be watching them—the bus driver leaves them with one final piece of advice: \"Avoid large places. Keep to small.\" Thus begins a deliciously creepy and hair-raising adventure where survival means outsmarting an ancient, waiting evil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c3e50; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eReader Targeting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eMiddle-grade readers looking for suspenseful, atmospheric ghost stories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eFans of paranormal adventure and thrilling mysteries with strong, resourceful protagonists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eYoung audiences exploring themes of friendship, courage, and overcoming personal grief.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c3e50; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKatherine Arden\u003c\/strong\u003e is the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of the adult fantasy trilogy \u003cem\u003eThe Bear and the Nightingale\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eSmall Spaces\u003c\/em\u003e marks her highly acclaimed middle-grade debut, showcasing her talent for weaving spellbinding, folklore-inspired narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c3e50; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eAccolades \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThis atmospheric trade paperback edition features a spine-tingling cover layout silhouetted by ominous scarecrows beneath a haunting moon.
