Fans of The Magician's Elephant, Savvy, and Roald Dahl will fall in love with Circus Mirandus, which
celebrates the power of seeing magic in the world.
Do you believe in magic?
Micah Tuttle does.
Even though his awful Great-Aunt Gertrudis doesn’t approve, Micah believes in the stories his dying
Grandpa Ephraim tells him of the magical Circus Mirandus: the invisible tiger guarding the gates, the
beautiful flying birdwoman, and the magician more powerful than any other—the Man Who Bends Light.
Finally, Grandpa Ephraim offers proof. The Circus is real. And the Lightbender owes Ephraim a miracle.
With his friend Jenny Mendoza in tow, Micah sets out to find the Circus and the man he believes will
save his grandfather.
The only problem is, the Lightbender doesn't want to keep his promise. And now it's up to Micah to get
the miracle he came for.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 4–6—Fifth-grader Micah Tuttle has been living with his Grandpa Ephraim since his parents died when
he was very young. The two are close; Grandpa Ephraim teaches Micah how to tie complicated knots and
tells him fanciful tales about the magical Circus Mirandus and its many performers, including a powerful
illusionist called the Lightbender. When Grandpa Ephraim becomes gravely ill, his sister, the strict and
dour Aunt Gertrudis, comes to take care of the household. She severely limits Micah's time with his sick
grandfather, and the boy is distraught at the idea of losing the only important person in his life. In a
stolen moment, Grandpa Ephraim surprises Micah by revealing that the Circus Mirandus is real, and that
the Lightbender promised him a miracle when he was a child. The protagonist begins to hope that his
grandfather will get well. The Circus Mirandus arrives in town on the wind, and Micah, with the help of
his classmate Jenny Mendoza, seeks out the Lightbender and tries to retrieve the miracle that Grandpa
Ephraim has requested. During a whirlwind adventure in the Circus, Micah learns about his family and
discovers that the miracle that Grandpa Ephraim asked for might not be the one that Micah had in mind.
Circus Mirandus is not a simple story, but readers will be rewarded for delving into its intricacies.
