A Kirkus Reviews Best Indie Book of 2018 A kiss is never just a kiss. Le Grand’s Carnival Fantastic isn’t like other traveling circuses. It’s bound by a charm, held together by a centuries-old curse, that protects its members from ever growing older or getting hurt. Emmaline King is drawn to the circus like a moth to a flame...and unwittingly recruited into its folds by a mysterious teen boy whose kiss is as cold as ice. Forced to travel through Texas as the new Girl in the Box, Emmaline is completely trapped. Breaking the curse seems like her only chance at freedom, but with no curse, there’s no charm, either—dooming everyone who calls the Carnival Fantastic home. Including the boy she’s afraid she’s falling for. Everything—including his life—could end with just one kiss.

Back at Elvesden Manor, Red, Tanya, and Fabian begin a desperate hunt, but as they soon find out, the fairies have done more than hide the charms; they've enchanted them with twisted qualities of the thirteen treasures they represent.

From deep inside the jungle of India comes the story of a tiny native boy named Kado. Born into a family of savages, Kado grew up fearful of the spirits and spending his time learning the trades of the village. His home was dirty as it was shared with the family's livestock and had very little if any conveniences. When Christians come to his village with their magic and strange gods, Kado is intrigued. His curiosity grows stronger after a man is bitten by a poisonous snake, but is miraculously healed by these strange white people. Before long, Kado is spending much time with the Christians, learning all he can about a God that loves him and a new way of life free from fear, filth and lawlessness. Over the next few years, Kado spends more time at the mission, and begins to share what he has learned with his friends and neighbors, although not always with positive results. Adventures of Kado is the true-to-life story of a native boy and how he grows from a regular savage's child, to an influential Christian.
