genre: YA fantasy

Scarlett and Donatella have a cruel father who punishes mercilessly. When they run away to partake in Caraval, a magical adventure, they are fighting for their lives and future.

I enjoyed it as a lightweight fantasy book with lots of questions to keep me reading. It's not surprising that it's being made into a movie - the book is very visual, with its descriptions and colors. Someone at our discussion said they think it will be a more enjoyable movie than book. They may be right!
