For my final project I wanted to write a young adult fiction and create a model of the main character to go alongside it. The concept of the story is one I have had for a long time; it is about a teenage girl called Delphine who is in a freak show. Delphine is a contortionist, but we find out towards the end of the novel that she’s being controlled and therefore contorted by a voodoo doll. Delphine is friends with Percy, another act in the freak show. One day Percy’s brother shows up and hatches a plan to help them escape the show but it’s not as straightforward as it seems. Because this book is set in Victorian Britain, I thought it would be a nice addition to also create a shadow box theatre along side the doll as these were common in the era.
