DARK WATERS by Katherine Arden is an Amazon “Best Book” of August 2021. Arden’s third middle grade tale spins a spellbinding web for its readers. Critically acclaimed and adored by teachers and students alike, the latest entry in the Small Spaces series was praised by Kirkus: “Arden skillfully blends a creature feature with a survival tale, taking the series into new territory without deviating from its successful formula. The deliberate pacing maintains a palpable sense of dread, equally anxiety-inducing and terrifying. . . Another deliciously hair-raising entry in a series that continues to make a huge splash.” G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers published the book on August 3, 2021.
