Phyllo Cane and the Clockwork Cabaret (Hardback)
£21.99
Magical puppets, ruthless bandits, and dark secrets.
Phyllo’s third apprenticeship is his biggest test yet.
When the Circus of Wonder can offer no more apprenticeships, Phyllo Cane is forced to leave the only world he’s ever known. A family connection leads him to the Clockwork Cabaret – a travelling show powered by enchanted meals, mechanical marvels, and the spellbinding puppetry of Gian McDonald Singh.
Phyllo joins the magical kitchens, clinging to the hope of learning from Gian himself. But the road is no place for dreamers.
Hunted by the Crows – a ruthless magical mafia, and stalked by the In-Between – a gang of lawless bandits, the Cabaret hides more than its share of secrets. As danger closes in, Phyllo uncovers truths buried deep in the show’s shadowy past, truths that tie his fate to the Cabaret’s in ways he never imagined.
With enemies on every side, Phyllo must summon all his courage to protect his new friends and unlock the mysteries that are sure to change everything.

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
