But over the weekend, she cheers her father on as he gears up for neo-gladiator competition-a high-profile televised blood sport that rivals the NFL. Lyn's father is the top player in the league, and the paparazzi that have always swarmed him have started to dog Lyn's every move. All this fame comes with another price--Lyn's family lives with the constant presence of violence, uncertainty, and a strict cultural code set by the Gladiator Sports Association. When a skilled young fighter slays Lyn's father, the GSA imposes an unthinkable sentence-Lyn must marry her father's murderer. Though her mother has made a career out of marrying into Glad culture, Lyn is prepared to do whatever it takes to claim her independence. Even if it means going into the arena herself. . . . \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLise Haines' debut novel, a dark satire for our time, is a mesmerizing look at a modern world addicted to violence, fame, and greed-a world eerily close to our own.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA Childrens","offers":[{"title":"Girl in the Arena | Lise Haines | Hardcover | 9781599903729 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1778665","offer_id":49814852927640,"sku":"1778665","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71YSxTtHxqL.jpg?v=1788541685","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/girl-in-the-arena","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
