Bookroo's summary

Fizzlebert Stump faces a dilemma: the Circus of Circuses competition looms, and he has no act. With the lion retired and crocodile tricks gone awry, Fizz must discover a new talent. Meanwhile, the Bearded Boy searches for his parents, and Alice, a secret Strongwoman, seeks her true role. As circus rivalry heats up, can they all find where they truly belong? Join this whimsical journey of self-discovery and unexpected friendships, where the stakes are high and the vegetables are oddly-shaped.

From the publisher

It’s the great Circus of Circuses competition, and Fizzlebert Stump has no act. He’s no longer the Boy Who Puts His Head In The Lion’s Mouth (the lion retired) and putting his head in a crocodile’s mouth instead didn’t work out for some reason. Can Fizz find a new act in time? Can the Bearded Boy find his long-lost parents? And can their new friend Alice, professional flower-arranger and secret Strongwoman, find her rightful place in the circus? A story of circus rivalry, learning who you really are, and the problem of oddly-shaped vegetables. Brilliantly bonkers and perfect for fans of Mr Gum and Lemony Snicket.
