This is a delightful children's fantasy about a young boy who journeys to the elusive and wondrous Circus Mirandus in hopes of meeting the Lightbender who promised his grandfather a miracle long ago.
Along the way, he discovers there's more to his grandfather's past than he thought and that he may have some magic of his own.
Circus Mirandus has all the highlights of a good children's fantasy: a have-to-believe-it-to-see-it magic system, an orphan boy, a cruel aunt, and a skeptic girl with a kind soul.
Highly recommend for children and children at heart or anyone who needs a nice, quick read.
