“The Hunger Games meets The Night Circus in this tale of two sisters enmeshed in a deadly game. Grade: A-”
―Entertainment Weekly
“There are elements of Neil Gan fantasy, Wizard of Oz, and Hunger Games killer competitiveness in Stephanie Garber’s
debut. But what’s most impressive is how original her wondrous Caraval really is. Garber creates a world brimming with
energy, mystery, surprises, backstabbing, and even some unforeseen romance.” ―USA Today
“Spellbinding.” ―US Weekly
“Caraval is The Night Circus Jr., with a dash of Alice in Wonderland and a sprinkle of Fantasy Island. If blood and
madness, ‘shameless curves and immoral promises’ entice you, well, come to the cabaret.” ―The New York Times Book Review
“A magnificent debut, and a spellbinding tale of love, loss, sacrifice, and hope.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review
"This twisty, terrifically fun page-turner is ideal for fans of Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus, Neil Gan's
Stardust, and fantasy novels where relationships between sisters drive the plot, such as The Hunger Games. A must-have
fantasy debut for high school collections." ―School Library Journal
“Caraval sweeps you into a treacherous and romantic world that takes center stage in this story of two sisters and their
longing for more.” ―Justine

“Stephanie Garber doesn't just dazzle―she makes me believe.” ―Jodi Meadows, New York Times bestselling coauthor of My
Lady Jane
“Caraval delights the senses: beautiful and y, described in luscious prose, this is a show readers will wish they
could enter. A double love story, one romance and the other sisterly loyalty, anchors the plot, but the real
star here is Caraval and its secrets. Immersive and engaging . . . destined to capture imaginations.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Readers invested in the sisters’s es (not to mention the outcome of steamy will-they-or-won’t-the? tension between
lett and Julian) will hang on tight and enjoy the ride. Garber’s darkly beautiful and brutal magical world is the
star here, full of luscious details that invite readers to linger.” ―The Horn Book
“An enchanting mix of mystery, romance, and magic, this immerses readers in its gorgeous setting with lush prose. The
setting is a captivating blend of beauty and danger . . . the chemistry between lett and Julian is intoxicating.
Readers will want a return ticket to this one.” ―Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
“Rich, vivid scene-setting and descriptions make for entertaining reading . . . a colorful, imaginative fantasy with
some steamy romance for good measure.” ―ALA Booklist
