Summary

In "The Adventure Girls at K Bar O," Clair Blank weaves an engaging tapestry of youthful adventure and camaraderie set against the backdrop of the American West. This novel features a group of spirited young women who navigate the challenges of ranch life, emphasizing themes of friendship, bravery, and self-discovery. Blank employs a vivid, accessible prose style that captures the optimism and exuberance of youth, making it resonant with readers who appreciate classic early 20th-century literature. The narrative is rich with detail, illustrating not only the physical landscape but also the emotional terrain that the characters traverse, reflecting the larger context of a society evolving beyond traditional gender roles during its time. Clair Blank, a notable figure in children'Äôs literature during the mid-20th century, draws upon her own experiences and interests in outdoor adventure to create relatable and inspiring characters. Her works often emphasize the importance of courage and independence, underscoring her belief in empowering young readers. Through her writing, she encourages young girls to embrace their own adventures, drawing from a well of personal observation and dedication to youth empowerment. I highly recommend "The Adventure Girls at K Bar O" to readers seeking a delightful escape into a world of adventure and the strong bonds of friendship. Blank's storytelling offers both entertainment and valuable life lessons, making it a timeless read for young audiences and nostalgic adults alike.

    Super funny, super spooky MG for budding horror fans about a talkative skull and a necromancer-in-training - perfect for Lemony Snicket readers!
    
    Mallory Vayle would list her interests as being normal, books about ponies and very definitely NOT talking to dead people. But when her parents' carriage takes a leap off Gibbett Bridge - an accident for which there appears to be no explanation - she is taken in by a strange aunt the family disowned years ago and brought to her new, and very spooky, home. Aunt Lilith, a charlatan psychic, is quick to monetise Mallory's prodigious skills in talking to dead people and starts to advertise grand seances (ticketed obvs) in her spiritual news sheet.
    
    The ghosts of her parents also take up residence in the house but are cruelly snatched away by the shadow of Hellysh Spatzl, the grimmest, wickedest necromancer in all of history. To get them back, Mallory will have to learn how to use the talents she hates and raise the old hag from the dead. Her teacher? A talking skull called Maggoty, who wants some favours in return for his help - not just a gorgeous blond wig and some sparkly earrings, but for Mallory to break the curse that has left his spirit locked inside his own skull for 500 years.
    
    Mallory will have to lean into who she is and what she can do and make a pact with the evil Hellysh Spatzl to get her parents back while at the same time putting on a sensational Halloween spectacular at only five shillings a head for an amazed audience at Nightmare Castle. And learn to love her chatty sidekick and his glorious wig...
    
    As darkly hilarious as The Addams Family, this is really good fun. An alternative spooky Victoriana packed with laughs and outrageous characters, at its heart, it's a story of a young girl coming to terms with her own gifts and accepting that nobody is 'normal'.
