Circus mirandus5/24/2023 However, when they get in, Jenny accidentally insults the circus head and Micah drags her out of the circus, not knowing when he will get a chance to go back again. When they’re in class, they get a clue to follow the wind at midnight, so they do, and they find the majestic Circus Mirandus right at their fingertips. Micah teams up with his super-smart best friend, Jenny, to look for the circus. Living with Gertrudis also means that getting to Circus Mirandus will be a whole lot harder than it could’ve been. Sadly, right now Micah is living with his terrible aunt, Gertrudis, his grandpa’s sister who vehemently believes that magic is just a trick of the mind (maybe it is). However, when the Lightbender says that he can’t make the miracle come true, Micah must go to Circus Mirandus and convince him to make the miracle come true. And now, he will finally get a chance to call for the Lightbender and use his miracle. Most children use their miracles to get souvenirs or more tickets, things that aren’t really miracles, but Micah’s grandfather decided to save his for later. But that one time, he was offered a miracle by the Man Who Bends Light, or the Lightbender. However, Micah’s grandpa has always told him stories about a magical place called Circus Mirandus, where magic is everywhere, and where Micah’s grandpa had only been once. Micah’s grandfather, Ephraim Tuttle, is gravely ill, and he has been for some time now. Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley is a flurry of emotions packed into absolutely beautiful writing about a boy named Micah Tuttle.
