About This Book
Reach for this book when your teen is navigating the stormy waters of a changing family dynamic or struggling with a heavy sense of responsibility for a sibling. While on the surface it is a high stakes supernatural thriller, it is deeply rooted in the emotional reality of two brothers processing their mother's new engagement and a shared past trauma. The story follows sixteen year old Blake into a nightmare carnival where he must complete seven life threatening rides to save his brother. It is a powerful metaphor for facing one's fears and the guilt that can haunt us from childhood. Parents will find it an excellent bridge for discussing resilience and the courage it takes to grow up in a world that feels out of control.
