A review by teebeethegreat
Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley

3.0

If you ignore the circus aspect of this tale and just focus on the characters this a great book. Grandpa Ephraim is an endearing man, and it makes me heart ache with missing my own grandpa, and in somewhere this tale helped me remember him.

*who's cutting onions*

I have a soft spot for orphans who create their own families and Micha and his grandpa were quite the pair and I loved them, Aunt Gertrudis annoyed me to no end, but I gather that was the intent with her character.

outside of the rich and inviting characters the plot and the settings did pale in comparison, and I think more attention should have been paid to them, but I think in a second book those problems can easily be fixed.

This was a delightful read and I enjoyed that slightly bumpy ride.
