These MG novels are quite scary and I just can’t put them down haha. It’s hidden from the outside world in a fog and unless everyone works together to find a way to escape, they won’t survive long. But when a lake monster destroys their boat, they end up shipwrecked on a deserted island. They haven’t had the best of luck on their recent trips and even worse their frenemy Phil is on the boat as well.

So when Ollie’s dad and Coco’s mom plan a “fun” boat trip on Lake Champlain, the three are apprehensive to say the least. By staying together and avoiding remote places, they’ve steered clear of him so far but their constant worry and stress is taking a toll on their lives and friendship. Having met and outsmarted the smiling man in Dead Voices but fearful of when he’ll come again, Ollie, Brian, and Coco are anxiously searching for a way to defeat him once and for all. New York Times bestselling author Katherine Arden returns with another creepy, spine-tingling adventure in this follow-up to the critically acclaimed Small Spaces and Dead Voices. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Bre aking the Spine. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.Ĭan’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read.
