(4) YA In 1922, abandoned by her family after contracting polio, Rowan is cast in the Unfit Family show, a carnival sideshow promoting eugenics. After escaping, she and an unlikely ally find themselves uncovering a plot to use "unfit" children as medical guinea pigs. While the plot is uneven, the story's themes and subjects are worth examination; an appended historical note adds value.
