So when she happens upon a crazed woman at the river threatening to throw a book into the water, Ollie doesn't think—she just acts, stealing the book and running away. As she begins to read the slender volume, Ollie discovers a chilling story about a girl named Beth, the two brothers who both 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. Ollie is captivated by the tale until her school trip the next day to Smoke Hollow, a local farm with a haunting history all its own. There she stumbles upon the graves of the very people she's been reading about. Could it be the story about the smiling man is true? Ollie doesn't have too long to think about the answer to that. On the way home, the school bus breaks down, sending their teacher back to the farm for help. But the strange bus driver has some advice for the kids left behind in his care: \"Best get moving. At nightfall they'll come for the rest of you.\" Nightfall is, indeed, fast descending when Ollie's previously broken digital wristwatch, a keepsake reminder of better times, begins a startling countdown and delivers a terrifying message: RUN. Only Ollie and two of her classmates heed the bus driver's warning. As the trio head out into the woods—bordered by a field of scarecrows that seem to be watching them—the bus driver has just one final piece of advice for Ollie and her friends: \"Avoid large places. Keep to small.\" And with that, a deliciously creepy and hair-raising adventure begins.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges 10-12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14.86 x 2.16 x 21.74 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Putnam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41479047544879,"sku":"","price":22.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/products\/SmallSpaces.jpg?v=1668618622"},{"product_id":"dark-waters","title":"Dark Waters","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn Indie Bestseller!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFilled with chills, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e bestselling author Katherine Arden’s latest installment in the creep-tastic Small Spaces Quartet is sure to haunt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUntil next time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e That was chilling promise made to Ollie, Coco and Brian after they outsmarted the smiling man at Mount Hemlock Resort.

Because if ghosts are real, it means she can find a way back to Babung. When Eliot chases the promise of paranormal activity to the presumably haunted Honeyfield Hall, she finds her proof of spirits.

So when a stylish older woman walks into the Over Easy Vintage Emporium where Yardley is helping out, Yardley is sure it's her grandmother, back from the dead. But her happiness doesn't last long, as the woman runs away in terror and no one else believes she was Gidge reincarnated. It's only with the help of a beautiful green velvet dress, a series of letters from \"the other side\" and an irritating twelve-year-old buttinsky named Harris that Yardley discovers there's more to the mystery woman — and Gidge — than she ever imagined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAges 10-13\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e14.61 x 2.11 x 21.59 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tundra Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41604163993647,"sku":"","price":23.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/files\/tundra-books-chapter-books-default-title-a-green-velvet-secret-32839424114735.jpg?v=1725891958"},{"product_id":"thirteens","title":"Thirteens","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eNeil Gaiman's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eCoraline\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emeets\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eStranger Things\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein a dark and twisted story about a sleepy town with a dark secret - and the three kids brave enough to uncover it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eEvery 13 years in the town of Eden Eld, three 13-year-olds disappear. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEleanor has just moved to the quiet, prosperous Eden Eld.
