Tracey Baptiste writes children's fantasy and nonfiction rooted in Caribbean folklore, Black history and young protagonists confronting frightening stories adults may underestimate. The Jumbies follows Corinne La Mer on a Caribbean island where spirits from folklore begin threatening her family, while Rise of the Jumbies and The Jumbie God's Revenge expand the mythology across sea, weather and regional traditions. Minecraft: The Crash moves into game-based adventure, and her nonfiction includes books on Black historical figures and culture. Baptiste's fiction is accessible, eerie and adventure-led. It suits middle-grade fantasy, Caribbean folklore and myth-based children's fiction. Read more Less
