Abigail can often be found holding a book in one hand and an ice cream cone in the other. When she is not devouring stories (or dessert), Abigail trains for marathons and writes poetry about growing up with eight brothers and sisters. She enjoys working in marketing for a real estate developer and creating Instagram content for fun (@marathonandmunch) about all the tasty eats found in Providence, RI.

Welcome to Finale, the final book in Stephanie Garber’s #1 New York Times bestselling Caraval series! It’s been two months since the Fates were freed from a deck of cards, two months since Legend claimed the throne for his own, and two months since Tella discovered the boy she fell in love with doesn’t really exist. Tella must decide if she’s going to trust Legend. After uncovering a secret, Scarlett will need to do the impossible. And Legend has a choice to make that will forever change him. Caraval is over, but perhaps the greatest game of all has begun.


Whether you are someone who is happily gaming your summer away or simply the type to cherish playing Scrabble with your grandmother a few times a year, the elements in many board games and video games can be found within the pages of books. The thrill of sleuthing or watching a brilliant strategy play out doesn’t necessarily have to be reserved to the board. Instead, you can speed read as your favorite YA character races through back alleys or let your mind pick apart complex puzzles as clues are picked up, one by one.
