Dark humor, tenacious characters, and a bleak backdrop combine to make a horror-movie-like world that you can't look away from because it is both beautiful and twisted. If you like speculative fiction that makes you go "What the heck did I just read?", Melville, and Midsommar, you will love this novel.

I don't ordinarily enjoy YA nor middle grade books, but I LOVED this tumble into the psyche of a precocious 12 year old who dreams of escaping her boring life in Kansas. September forges her own path and makes her own decisions, all the while shaping her own future. For children who like dark adventures, Gaiman, and Dahl. For teens who like to be swept up in a journey alongside a fierce and perserverant heroine. For adults who like YA Fantasy and del Toro’s films, and for those who don't.
