From exciting debut author, Justin Fisher, comes this rip-roaring, page-turning new magical adventure. Perfect for fans of House of Secrets.
Ned Waddlesworth has always considered his world to be exceptionally ordinary. Until the day he discovers it ISN’T. AT ALL. Because on Ned’s thirteenth birthday he discovers that everything magical he’s ever read about or imagined is REAL.
And without him, the world will soon be engulfed in monstrous beasts and beings.
So with the help of a robot mouse, a girl witch and a flying circus unlike any other, it’s up to Ned to swoop in and save the day!
Roll up, roll up, and prepare to be AMAZED by Ned and the marvellous, magical, monstrous flying circus!
First of all: I love the cover and the website! You can see Fisher is a graphic designer and acknowledges the power of a good cover! Sadly to many author / publishers somehow forget this aspect of the book. Yes we DO judge a book by it’s cover, let’s not deny it just because the saying says otherwise.
I’d wish I was 10 again, it would have been an experience which would have stuck the rest of my life. Sadly I’m 50 now and STILL loving this book!
It’s magical fun, captivating and keeps you reading on and on and on and on and on… and on.Looking for a book for your 10 year old or grandchild? ‘Ned’s Circus of Marvels’ is certainly a book to consider.
