(4) 4-6 Micah's grandpa Ephraim regales him with stories of the amazing Circus Mirandus. But now that Ephraim is dying and unimaginative Aunt Gertrudis is taking over Micah's care, it seems that the Circus might actually be real. Beasley's first novel succeeds in tone, suspense, and inventiveness of the magical setting, but her invented world feels more convincing than her real one.
