CIRCUS MIRANDUS

Bronson Pinchot performs with the wise air of a storyteller, an appropriate style for a novel built on the tales that Micah's Grandpa Ephraim tells about the magical circus he visited as a boy. Pinchot's voice for Micah is equal parts wonder and grief as he confronts Ephraim's failing health and sets out to find Circus Mirandus and the mysterious Light Bender who once promised his grandfather a miracle. Pinchot's narration captures the excitement as magic seeps into the story and Micah and his kind but skeptical friend Jenny outwit Ephraim's abrasive sister to find the Light Bender and make him fulfill his promise. A solid fantasy particularly good for family listening. A.F. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2015]
