Book Review: Circus Mirandus

Circus Mirandus, by Cassie Beasley, is a wonderful, imaginative book for the fourth through sixth grade child. It captures the imagination from the first page as the reader discovers that Micah Tuttle lives with his ill Grandpa Ephraim and his disagreeable Aunt Gertrudis. Gertrudis does not seem to understand the connection between Grandpa and Micah, so Micah has to find minutes here and there to spend with his friend. Having heard tales about Circus Mirandus from Grandpa, Micah through they were fun tales until he finds out that they are more than imagination.

This debut book would be a great read for all children in this age range and I look forward to reading more of Beasley's work.

I was given this book by Dial Books, the author and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
