I could not put this book down. I made myself stop halfway through just to make the magical experience last longer. What a fantastic, loving story about a boy, his grandfather, and a magical circus. I don't want to give anything away, but it's like a combination of the aching feeling in Kate DiCamillo's books and the magic from The Night Circus combined into this. I can't wait to share this with my middle grade readers!

It was a good story, I felt. I don't think it was suitable for my age group. I'd say this was for children perhaps 8-12, though I enjoyed it quite a bit.
This book was so good. Great for that Middle Grade coming of age person!

This is one of the sweetest, most wholesome things I've ever read. I am impressed by how well it managed to weave in some pretty serious topics and how tactfully they were handled.
What a read! This is one of the few I wish I could have a special 6th star to add on!
A quick, easy read but captivating and descriptive without getting bogged down in details. Elements of normal life mixed with a magical circus? Wonderful!

Circus Mirandus was the focal point of all stories Micah's grandpa told him as he was growing up. To Micah, it was a wild, adventurous, magical place that existed only in Grandpa Ephram's imagination. When Grandpa Ephram became gravely ill, Micah learned otherwise. Circus Mirandus was more than a figment of Grandpa's imagination. The famous "Man Who Bends Light" from the circus owes Grandpa a miracle and he means to collect it.
This is a wonderful story of magic and love. A delightful read that I highly recommend.
