Zarconi's Magic Flying Fish

by Kirsty Murray

A humorous and silly behind-the-scenes look at a traveling circus, this imaginative tale follows one young boy’s adventures under the big top. When Gus finds himself caught up in a world of magicians, stilt-walkers, and tattooed tent hands, he begins to wonder Why is everyone secretive about my family? and Is it true that the circus is cursed? This fast-moving tale—ideal for young boys—presents a combination of action and emotion in a story of self-discovery, identity, and change.

I just LOVE this book and it's inside look into life in a circus. The characters are so raw and it's hard to believe that it's not a true story. Wonderful read time and time again.
