About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the feeling that they do not quite fit into their surroundings, or when they are beginning to wonder about their own hidden potential. Set against the vibrant and grit-strewn backdrop of a 19th-century travelling circus, Snatched! follows Daniel, a foundling who was saved from a lion's cage and raised as a bareback rider. As he enters adolescence, his world is upended by psychic premonitions and the realization that his past is a dangerous mystery. It is a compelling choice for middle-grade readers who enjoy historical atmosphere mixed with light supernatural elements. The story explores deep themes of belonging and the search for identity, while maintaining a fast-paced adventure that keeps readers engaged. It is particularly appropriate for children aged 9 to 12 who are transitioning into more complex narratives involving family secrets and self-discovery.
