Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley

Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley is the fantasy pick for this year's Sequoyah Intermediate Book List.  Have you ever wondered if the stories your grandfather told you are true?  Surely these wild tales can only be made up, right?  This is what Micah has always been lead to believe.  But when his grandpa Ephraim is on his death bed, he tells Micah the stories are indeed real.  Now Micah must try to figure out how to get into the mysterious circus and find Lightbender, the greatest magician.  Micah must believe in the magic and persuade the magician to keep his promise.  

With a little help from a great friend and the drama of a mean old aunt, this book will please those looking for a fun fantasy read.
