Carousoul

Saltwater Bay's amusement park is closing forever. The council voted. The bulldozers are coming. And in the middle of the park's last weekend, a carousel appears that Nia has never seen before — painted in colours too vivid, mirrors too bright, music that sounds like breathing.The sign reads: The Carousoul. Ride Backward, Wish Forward.The first wish is free. The price comes after. A memory here. A feeling there. The carousel takes pieces of your soul in exchange for what you want — and it's very good at knowing exactly what you want most.Nia wanted something small. She didn't know what she was paying with. Now her best friend is hollow, her brother still dead, and the carousel is offering her the one wish she'd give anything for — his life back. All it wants in return is everything she is.A dark, emotionally devastating YA novel about grief, desperation, and the pieces of yourself you don't know are precious until they're gone.
