Review by Jessica (280210) Rating (7/10) Review
by Jessica The traveller’s circus is coming to town in a procession of tents, colours, and noise. Girls move happily through the chaos, lions roar in their cages, boys help with the adults to set up the bright tents, women stitch costumes and apply makeup.
Then that night, after the mayhem of the circus and with the silver
moon high in the sky, a cry from a nearby child cuts through the
calm and quiet.
Years later Daniel, the baby who was adopted by Hubble the owner
of the circus, has questions. Why are his visions coming true?
Is he physic? Even if that is so, he still didn’t mange to stop
the fire he had foreseen. This is a circus adventure with a kidnap and a good douse of treachery. Characters are colourful and vivid with good dialogue. Author Marks creates an atmospheric background with London streets as the main backdrop.
A great action-packed book for younger readers. A worthy first
attempt for Marks at a book aimed for the younger audience. |
