Girl in the Arena is an interesting story concept taking place in a society where gladiator-style fights to the death are big business, high-stakes sports. The lead-in to the story was kind of tough to get through as it is supposed to be an excerpt from a book on the history of how gladiator fighting began, written by a teenaged girl who has grown up in that lifestyle/5().

ISBN. Buy This Book. As a modern gladiator's daughter, Lyn and her family live by the rules of the Gladiator Sports Association. But those rules can turn against you. When Lyn's seventh father dies in the ring, his opponent, Uber, captures Lyn's dowry bracelet—and her hand in marriage. To win her freedom, Lyn will do what no girl has done before: enter the arena and fight her father's murderer—even though she's falling in love with him. Girl in the Arena is a heartbreakingly sad book, filled with poignant emotions that are so human, despite the absurd premise. I really bought Lyn’s dilemma, thanks to Haines’s skillful characterizations. Haines plays against type and conjures up a finale that is suspenseful, scary, tragic, and inspiring all at once. Girl in the Arena by Lise Haines. Novem. So I'm working my way through all the Cybils YA Fantasy/Science Fiction nominee s, when Girl in the Arena shows up on my doorstep (thank you, Bloomsbury!). Truthfully, I'm a little supernatural creatured out just about now and so this dystopian, neo-gladiator, fight to the death novel seemed made to order.
