In the classroom, Small Spaces can spark discussions about courage, friendship, and fear. Students can explore how characters face challenges and connect these moments to real-life emotions. Writing their own “what if” stories helps them understand speculative fiction and build creativity while learning that bravery often comes from working together.
pickSmall Spaces by Katherine Arden is a chilling and imaginative story that explores fear, courage, and friendship. The book‘s eerie world mirrors real-life struggles with grief and bravery, showing how people face their deepest fears. The story made me think differently about human nature how even in terrifying, impossible situations, hope and teamwork can conquer darkness.
I‘ve had this on my TBR for a long time. Middle grade but I hear it‘s actually scary! #HauntsAndHexes #Scarecrow and #HauntedShelf cover #ScavengerHunt for #Tree

pickGoing with a spooky read for the Sixth Graders this year. It‘s not the first time I‘ve read this one, but it will be the first time I‘ve taught it, so I spent the weekend marking it up and getting myself ready to remind kids reading should be fun!
#Falling A few things showed up, a song by the original writer Parry. And a short film og Mickey Mouse from 1920. How cool. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Come a little closer...
Come a little closer...
Listen to the night...
There's music in the air...

pickThis book was given to me in a swap and me and my boys read it as a reading experience and all three of us liked it.
Possibly the scariest book I read this month. Definitely the scariest cover!
