Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley
3.0

Used in my class (grades 2-4). Some lovely passages, but the story itself felt front-loaded in development. At the end, a lot of action happens v. quickly, and it left a bit of a discordant feeling pacing-wise. I wish the circus was more fleshed out; there was a lot of telling, not showing.
