Small Fry Pick of the Week: Circus Mirandus





Cover image for Circus Mirandus

Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley

Micah's grandpa Ephraim  has always told him wonderful stories about Circus Mirandus, a magical circus he visited when he was a boy.  But now Grandpa Ephraim is dying, and terrible, grouchy Great-Aunt Gertrudis has arrived to take car of Micah.  All the magic of Micah's childhood seems lost until Grandpa Ephraim finally tells him the truth: Circus Mirandus is real, and the Lightbender, the circus's greatest magician, owes Grandpa Ephraim a miracle.

With his friend Jenny Mendoza in tow, Micah sets out to find the circus and the man he believes will save his grandfather.  The only problem is the Lightbender doesn't want to keep his promise.  And now it's up to Micah to get the miracle he came for.
