rachellena 's review for:
Circus Mirandus
by Cassie Beasley
This was a truly delightful Middle Grade read! Both Micah and Jenny were adorable and I loved their friendship; two little odd balls in different ways, but the friendship felt natural. I was surprised at how dark this book was, but in a good way. I love it when a book for young readers doesn't try to talk down to them or pretends like nothing bad ever happens in the world. Circus Mirandus is all about finding the magic in this messed up world.
I do wish the actual magical elements were explored more deeply. We saw a lot of the What and glimpsed a little bit of the Why, but I would have liked to see more of the How and how that informs the Why. I'm hopeful that the sequel will delve into that more.
Overall, a quick and entertaining read.
