Circus Mirandus
by Cassie Beasley
Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley is the first of a series (book 2 was just released earlier this month, October).
Do you believe in magic? Micah, thanks to the stories the grandfather whose raised him has told him, definitely does. When Micah’s grandfather descends into poor health his unsympathetic great aunt arrives to care for the both of them while showing how much she does not want to be there.
Grandpa Ephraim has one last shot at a miracle, when he was a boy Circus Mirandus called to him and he was promised a miracle from the Lightbender. He’s ready to call upon the Lightbender for his miracle and Micah is going to help him, and get the adventure of the lifetime in the meanwhile.
***
This is a beautiful middle grade book told in alternating chapters for a bit from both Micah and Grandpa Ephraim, when he was younger and his interactions with the circus. It’s a story about family and friendship, love and loyalty, belief and magic. Micah may think he knows what his grandpa is asking for but he’s going to learn a lot more important things before the story is done.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
