Hello everyone,
It is my stop on the blog tour for Scareground by Angela Kecojevic, a new middle grade that just from looking at the premise, sounds both haunting and enchanting.
The title immediately creates intrigue, as you know the story is going to turn out mysterious and spooky, with a cool setting. There are so many questions straight away about the main character Nancy, and the idea of finding out the answers with her is the perfect invitation to pick up this book!
One of the great things about middle grades is that are inclusive and can be enjoyed by readers of many different ages, so I hope this spotlight may inspire some of you to read Scareground.
Thank you very much to Dave @ The Write Reads for organising this tour and inviting me to take part, and to all the other people who have helped make it happen. Remember to check out the other posts on the tour, details of which you can find on the banner.

Roll up, roll up, the Scareground is in town!
Twelve-year-old Nancy Crumpet lives above a bakery and her life is a delightful mix of flour, salt, and love.
Yet her mind is brimming with questions no one can answer: Why did her birth parents disappear? Why can she speak with the sky? And why must she keep her mysterious birthmark hidden?
Everything changes when the Scareground returns to Greenwich. When Nancy and her best friend meet the fair’s spooky owner, Skelter, and discover a world full of dark magic and mystery, she must confront her greatest fears to get to the truth. But is Nancy ready for the secrets the Scareground will reveal?
Let alone the fictional Scareground, Angela Kacojevic is the person behind Hobbledown, a successful pair of adventure parks for young children in the South East of England. How cool is that?!
A senior librarian and creative writing tutor who lives in the wonderful city of Oxford, Angela has written for the Oxford Reading Tree. Scareground is her debut middle grade novel.
Scareground is available to buy now!
Happy reading 🙂
