- Reading
- Check in after the first carnival incidents, especially if frightening attractions feel vivid. Afterwards, compare Gabby’s and Sydney’s reactions and discuss whether the story makes either response seem wiser.
- Themes
- Friendship under pressure: Gabby wants to leave the carnival as events become unsettling, while Sydney chooses to stay and find out whether it is haunted. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Fear and the unknown: A country carnival becomes unsettling through an unnaturally fast ride, an apparently watching funhouse face and the possibility of a haunting. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Expect suspense around carnival rides, a funhouse and the possibility that the carnival is haunted. The ending, the intensity of any danger and whether the unsettling events receive an explanation remain unclear.
