Medal Winner in The Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards
‘Articulate and intoxicating - bursting at the seams with both classical fantasy elements and inspiring worldbuilding. Phyllo Cane leads the pack with his creativity and effervescence.
Dizzyingly bewitching.’ – The Booklife Prize
When Phyllo accidentally burns down the big top, he can forget his dream of being a magical confectioner, it’s the Circuit for him instead. Now he must face a daunting string of magical apprenticeships to find his talent and prove his worth. Straight in at the deep end, his first is with the flyers of the high trapeze.
Training is knee-trembling and mind-bogglingly dangerous, but when Phyllo finds himself in another near-fatal disaster, he realises it’s not just his nerves that are holding him back. Other acts crumble. Masked men stalk the cast. Something dark and evil conspires against them all and, Phyllo discovers, if the Circus of Wonder is to survive, he must solve the problems of the past… or lose the magic forever.
Join Phyllo for his first magical apprenticeship and the battle to stay with the Circus of Wonder, where magic awaits, if he can dare to believe.

My daughter, aged 10, read this herself and said that she really enjoyed it, although was a bit slow to start with. She has now asked for the other two books for her birthday
Circus Magic
⭐⭐⭐⭐
An intriguing coming-of-age tale that touches on memory, friendship, redemption, the grief of loss, and the struggles we all endure to emerge as our true selves. This book has fine-tuned, inventive, and clever magic, set in the sparkling atmosphere of the Big Top.
