Bookroo's summary
Micah's grandfather tells tales of the magical Circus Mirandus, where wonders abound and a powerful magician owes him a miracle. With his friend Jenny, Micah embarks on a quest to find the Circus and secure the miracle that could save his grandfather. But the magician, the Lightbender, is unwilling to fulfill his promise. Can Micah convince him to change his mind and deliver the miracle his grandfather desperately needs? Adventure and magic await as Micah faces the challenge of a lifetime.
From the publisher
Even though his awful Great-Aunt Gertrudis doesn’t approve, Micah believes in the stories his dying Grandpa Ephraim tells him of the magical Circus Mirandus: the invisible tiger guarding the gates, the beautiful flying birdwoman, and the magician more powerful than any other—the Man Who Bends Light. Finally, Grandpa Ephraim offers proof. The Circus is real. And the Lightbender owes Ephraim a miracle. With his friend Jenny Mendoza in tow, Micah sets out to find the Circus and the man he believes will save his grandfather. The only problem is, the Lightbender doesn’t want to keep his promise. And now it’s up to Micah to get the miracle he came for.
