Evening! BOO!

A very spppppoooky welcome to a new Waiting on Wednesday! Today? I am eagerly waiting for the spooky sequel of The Order of the Strawberry Circle, Whiteout by Susanne Schmidt!

I finished reading Bad Grains yesterday and what a ride! Superstitions, a field full of rye… but don’t go in because there is something in there that om nom noms children, there are creepy rhymes, hungry wolves, and well, it ended a bit open, so I definitely need to know how things continue and what kind of spooky supernatural stuff we are getting next! Plus, I love that it is set in Germany.

Now I just need to wait until November 14th! EEP!

WHEN THE BLUE DOOR OPENS, WINTER WILL COME TO FELS.

11-year old Jo has finally managed to make a friend at her new Rani, the girl who runs like the wind. Together, Jo and Rani are planning the perfect winter cookie baking, caroling, and ice skating at the local pond.
But when the Fels Christmas market is vandalized and strange symbols are found on the stalls, Jo starts to worry that the chilling prophecy made by the monster who kidnapped her brother in the fall might be coming true after all, threatening the safety of all of

“The price for peace in blood is paid, pay it now or pay it soon, only higher if you wait…”

To protect her family, Rani, and her no-longer-quite-so-boring hometown of Fels, Germany, Jo turns to the Strawberry Circle, the secret order monitoring supernatural activity in the area. Together, can they chase off the spirits that haunt the time between the years? Or will Fels pay the blood price after all?

Join Jo on a frosty and frightening adventure and explore the rich winter lore of Germany in the sequel to BBNYA finalist Bad Grains!
