Fans of Big Fish, Peter Pan, 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.

Good story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story centers around Micah and his grandfather, and the ties that knot them together -- their belief in Circus Mirandus. Grandpa Ephraim went to Circus Mirandus as a young boy, and it changed his life. Now, Micah is hoping to find Circus Mirandus and the Lightbender again, in hopes of saving his Grandpa's life.
I'm a little uncomfortable with one of the themes in the story being that only children can see and accept magic, and that performing it for them is what keeps magic in the world. It seems disingenuous and hopeless, since all children grow up. (And presuming, of course, that the adults running Circus Mirandus were once children themselves.)
But despite not buying some of the sentimentality, I can still get behind the charm of this story, and am excited to share it with my kids. It's a very fun and enjoyable book with an excellent narration, and its magic will leave both children and adults smiling.
You Still Owe Me a Miracle

It is now my favorite book, I hope more of Cassie Beasley's books are like it! I love the last sentence, "you never need an invitation to go home". My favorite character was Jenny because I can really relate to her I had a best friend leave me to go really far away, he is still there I miss him. I loved Circus Mirandus, it is my favorite book ever in my entire life.
You never need an invitation to go home!

What does Bronson Pinchot bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Sometimes, I forgot that Bronson Pinchot was reading! He did a fantastic job of breathing life into the characters through his use of voice inflections although I thought he made Jenny sound a little annoying lol.Any additional comments?
I fell in love with this magical story! Micah is raised by his grandfather, Ephraim, who tells him tales about the magical circus, Circus Mirandus. Unfortunately, Micah's grandfather becomes ill and his Aunt Gertrude has to come stay with them to take care of him and his grandfather. Aunt Gertie is mean and doesn't believe in magic. Micah makes a new friend, Jenny, and spills everything to her. They work together to get to Circus Mirandus and save Grandpa Ephraim.A magical circus any child would love!

This book IS magic!

I think that we need more books that discuss the importance of embracing the concept of death acceptance to our children because we hide from it in our culture. This book does a beautiful job of approaching the subject with such love and peacefulness and it’s an important lesson for kids.
Beautiful
