The Carnival of Lost Souls: A Handcuff Kid Novel

341 pp. | Abrams/Amulet | October, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-8980-1 $16.95
(4) 4-6 Jack Carr, shuffled among lousy foster homes, wants to escape like his hero, Harry Houdini. He regularly practices with handcuffs--a helpful talent when his latest foster father sells him to a carnival troupe touring the Forest of the Dead. The macabre setting and supporting characters are lively; ample villainy adds an appreciated thrill to the somewhat slow-moving plot.
