To Andy and his parents, it looks like any other carnival: creaking ghost train, rusty rollercoaster and circus performers. But of course it isn't. Entering the hall of mirrors, Andy is hypnotised by the many selves staring back at him. Sometime later, one of those selves walks out and rejoins his parents - leaving Andy trapped inside the glass, snatched from his suburban home and transported to a world where the laws of gravity are meaningless and time performs acrobatic tricks. And now an identical stranger inhabits Andy's life, unsettling his mother with a curious blankness. Carnivalesque is an intoxicating tale of adolescence, metamorphosis and identity.
