The Circus of Stolen Dreams by Lorelei Savaryn
5.0
Wow! Lorelei Savaryn is such a wordsmith. This was a gorgeously written book, the language drew me into the dreamworld and I didn't want to leave. The language is complex (not in a way to hinder meaning) but will be a good challenge for stronger readers to enhance their vocabulary- the descriptions are a marvel.
There are moments of poignancy that many MG readers may not fully grasp but as an adult reader, I really appreciated the messages of hope and resilience that the author imbued into the story. For kids who are going through tough challenges, it's important to hear. This is a story of loss, redemption, and hope; life is not always easy but we can get through it.
MG readers will love the eeriness of the Circus, there is just enough to keep you off-kilter and give a jolt of fear from time to time. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to future offerings from this author.
