Dani Gale — her name is no coincidence — ends up at OZ, the Oswald Zinzendorf School of Circus Arts. She is awkward, out of her element, and paired with Cai Coppersmith for the high-wire competition. Cai is good-looking and good at everything, but he keeps sabotaging Dani’s progress.
Lions and Tigers and Boys (2018) weaves Wizard of Oz mythology into a boarding school setting without being a direct retelling. The circus arts school provides the backdrop, and the competition gives the story its structure. Published by Entangled Teen, it stands as a standalone novel despite the series name.
