INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Langton, Jane

The Mysterious Circus

(4) 4-6 Hall Family Chronicles series. This seventh volume has elements in common with its predecessors--"Indian" magic, allusions to Thoreau, and a rapacious neighbor whose ideas of progress threaten the peace of Concord, Massachusetts. While a clumsy plot diminishes the novel, Langton's strength is her bright, lucid storytelling voice.
