My Review:-A story about a twelve-year-old girl, Nancy Crumpet. Nancy wants more than living above a bakery with her family, but she doesn't know what it is. Nancy wants to know more about her birth family. She has a fascination with the sky. Nancy struggles with friendship, especially with Arthur. The story is about fairgrounds and everything that comes with it, attraction, fear, the thrills. What happens when we walk into the darkness? I found it a bit creepy but in a way that made me want to know more.
