Blood Circus

You will fall in love with this twisted circus."" -- ""San Francisco Book Review (5 stars)"" ""Readers who enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing, The Hunger Games, and strong female protagonists in Alison Goodman's Eon and Eona, will love this novel of hardship, mystery, gore, and growth. A first choice for high school libraries."" -- ""School Library Journal"" ""This socially progressive dystopian adventure with strong worldbuilding and suspenseful plotting will appeal to fans of the Hunger Games...Pointedly questioning what it is to be human, this absorbing debut expresses profound longing for the disappearing wild."" -- ""Kirkus Reviews"""
