Bookroo's summary
When a mysterious circus arrives in Nod's Limbs, mischievous twins Edgar and Ellen find themselves drawn to its strange performers. As they bond with fire-eaters and escape artists, they face a choice: join the circus and evade the looming threat of Heimertz, or stay and confront their fate. In a world of illusions, can they trust what they see?
From the publisher
Step up! Step up! Step up and see such acts of awe and oddity! A bizarre circus creeps into Nod’s Limbs in the dead of night, bringing with it caravans of strange and wonderful entertainers. Edgar and Ellen soon find kindred spirits among the fire-eaters and escape artists. But will the mischievous twins join the circus when it leaves town, and so avoid the wrath of Heimertz? In this topsy-turvy world of smoke and mirrors, nothing is quite what it seems….
