To save his brother from a sinister carnival, a teen must survive trials that force him to confront his worst fears in this supernatural psychological thriller from New York Times bestselling author, Neal Shusterman.

Sixteen-year-old Blake has always been the responsible one in his dysfunctional family -- the one who drives safely, gets good grades, and looks after his wild younger brother, Quinn. Quinn is the opposite—a thrill-seeker who’s always chasing the next rush, no matter how scary…or at what cost.

But Quinn and Blake are in for the surprise of their lives when they’re thrust into the world of a bizarre phantom carnival—and their souls are the price of admission. To save his brother, and himself, Blake must survive seven different carnival rides before dawn. Seven rides…it sounds easy. But each one is a reflection of one of Blake’s deepest fears and will push him to the absolute limit.

And the last ride is the worst one of all, confronting Blake with a terrifying secret he’s been running from for years. But now Blake has no choice but to face his past…or he and Quinn won’t have a future.
