Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley

3.0

Enjoyable story about a boy, a dying wish, and a magic circus. The circus itself was the best part of this - highly imaginative and charming, would love to visit there myself! I confess to being disappointed with the ending, however. I was really hoping that Ephraim would used his saved-up miracle for Gertrudis, after disillusionment and child abuse spoiled her life and turned her distrustful and bitter, clearly forever. Alas.
