Kettle Springs’ generational clashes make it a violent, admittedly dramatized microcosm of the real world we’re currently living in. Early in the book, Quinn sees a flier: “Make Kettle Springs Great Again.” The adults and kids of this town are thoroughly squared off, and things get ugly. The political world specifically: the clash between younger progressives and older conservatives. One really interesting aspect of Cesare’s book is its reflection of the world today. Unfortunately, for Quinn and her new friends, that clown isn’t acting alone… These tensions come to a head at a high school party when a killer clown begins picking off the teens one by one. Quinn quickly begins making friends but also notices the tensions in the town between the adults and the teens. High school senior Quinn has just moved to Kettle Springs with her father, and they’re looking for a fresh start. So did it meet all expectations? It exceeded them on every level. ![]() I dived into it as soon as it arrived on my doorstep. ![]() Oh my gosh I was so excited for this one!
