Show Stopper by Hayley Barker

3.0

This was sett in a near future England where to poorest people had to sell their kids to a very dangerous circus for them to perform and death isn't uncommon for them. You follow two teens Ben and Hoshiko. Ben is the son of a power fun government minister and Hoshiko is one of the poor forces to perform in the circus. This was a hard book two rate. The action and the plot was very engaging and exciting, even if it was insta love, I really liked the characters and much of it was very interesting to follow. That would be a 4 stars. However the world concept is uncomfortable and not in a good, make you think kind of way. The world is very racist but isn't explored or a big thing they try to fight against, it's more trying to survive. I didn't think it was dealt with in good way and that would be a 2 stars. So I'm giving this book a 3 stars. Maybe its touched upon more in the next book but I don't have it. And if I don't find it on my book app, I wont go and buy it brand new. Maybe if I find it second hand.
