![]() ![]() ![]() Willow is fearful of being recognised as her face is all over the news, and her Dad is offering a hefty reward, so she alters her appearance as much as she can and calls herself 'Frog'. Despite this, the unlikely pair forge a strong friendship as they struggle to find food and shelter in order to stay alive. Willow walks the streets looking for Suz but when she finally finds her, her money is gone, leaving Willow penniless and homeless. Willow meets Suz, a street performer, when Suz steals all of Willow's money. With fate lending a hand, Willow completes the word and heads to the place where she feels that she is finally getting closer to her mother, and to a place where she belongs. Willow can't remember her mum, all she has is a dog-eared photograph of her with a snake around her neck and part of a word '.stings'. ![]() Willow doesn't hang around for the fallout, she already has her bag packed and plans to follow in her mother's footsteps by running away to join the circus. The Circus introduces us to Willow Stephens as she snips the buttons off a wedding dress, on the day that 'The Handbag' is due to marry Willow's Dad. So when faced with the question: 'There's a new Olivia Levez book out - do you want to read it?' The answer, without hesitation, was 'Yes please!' Although I don't read a lot of YA novels, I was introduced to Olivia Levez when I read her remarkable debut novel, The Island. ![]()
