Cirque
Du Freak
starts
out when
a scout
leader
is
walking
home
from a
scout
meeting.
He
begins
to hear
twigs
snap
around
him.
Soon
there
was a
vampire
and a
young
boy. The
young
boy
breathed
on his
hand and
put it
over the
scout
leader's
nose and
mouth
killing
him. The
young
boy's
name is
Darren
Shan. He
has to
suffer
the
average
life of
a half
vampire.
When he
was four
years
old a
vampire
blooded
him by
putting
vampire
blood
into his
blood
stream.
He now
wants to
drink
human
blood.
He hates
the fact
that he
has to
drink
human
blood in
order to
survive.
Darren
is
stronger
than
almost
every
adult in
the
world.
He can
throw a
baseball
farther
then the
record
and his
fingernails
are too
thick to
be
clipped.
He
felt he
was a
danger
to kids
his age
so he
went
with Mr.
Crepsley,
his
mentor
and also
a
vampire,
to join
a freak
circus
called
Cirque
Du
Freak.
The
circus
was made
up from
a bunch
of
freaks.
These
freaks
are real
though
they are
performers.
They can
eat a
glass
mug and
piece it
back
together
in their
stomach
and
bring it
out of
their
stomach
perfectly
put back
together.
There
are also
freaks
that can
grow
arms
back
after
they
have
been cut
off.
Darren
joins
the
Cirque
Du Freak
and
takes
part in
the
show. He
helps
out with
Mr.
Crepsley's
act. He
plays
the
flute
while
Mr.
Crepsley's
tarantula,
Madam
Octa,
spins a
web over
his
mouth.
Darren
thought
about
killing
Mr.
Crepsley
because
of what
he had
done to
him, but
he needs
him to
survive.
Darren
Shan,
the
author
of
Cirque
Du Freak,
lives in
Ireland.
During
his
childhood
he
watched
scary
movies
and read
spooky
comic
books,
which
gave him
the idea
to write
this
book. I
think
Cirque
Du Freak
is a
great
book
that
will
capture
readers'
minds of
all
ages.
One of
my
favorite
parts of
the book
was when
R.V., a
guy out
to
protect
nature,
frees
the
wolfman.
The
wolfman
then
rips off
both of
R.V.'s
arms. It
was my
favorite
part
because
I could
picture
blood
squirting
out and
guts
from
R.V. in
the
wolfman's
mouth. I
think
other
readers
would
like
this
book
because
the
level of
horror
is
perfect
and a
lot of
kids
today
like
this
kind of
book.
