Micah has grown up listening to his grandpa Ephraim's stories about Circus Mirandus. That's why even though his grandfather is seriously ill, he has lots of hope. Circus Mirandus wasn't just an ordinary circus, it was magic. In fact, one of its performers is the most magical person Micah can imagine. The Light Bender was the highlight of all of Grandpa Ephraim's stories. The best part, the part that gives Micah hope is that the Light Bender owes his grandpa a miracle. They just have to find him before it's too late for the miracle to matter. This story is so beautiful. It was unexpected and heartbreaking, but also so much fun. You will love Micah and his grandfather, you will hope right along with them that the Light Bender comes in time. More than anything, you will strain to hear the music composed of pipes and drums calling you to magic.
I listened to this on audio read by Bronson Pinchot. It was wonderful.
