But when a number of people mysteriously begin to disappear in Widowsbury, the girls work together, along with Steffen Weller, son of the cook at Rudyard School for Boys, to find out who is behind the abductions. Īdelaide Foss, Maggie Borland, and Beatrice Alfred are known by their classmates at Widowsbury's Madame Gertrude's School for Girls as "scary children."

The children in this tale are a bit different from the Childrin you're used to they're older for one thing, and they've got a whole new kind of oddness about them. It's not quite finished, but I can tell you with certainty that it will fulfill your wishes for disappearing people, frightful things in the woods, cursed towns and dark, dark times. The first book is tentatively titled Skary Childrin and the Carousel of Sorrow. But that day is still some time off - possibly in the fall of 2011 for the first one - so here's a little info to salivate over in the mean time.
This, of course, means you'll have to read them or, at the very least, put them out on the coffee table for company.
I've gotten a deal with the Knopf imprint of Random House for two middle grade children's novels.
