Maddy Adriana knows that magic is real. All her life, her heart has pulled her toward things too perfect to be ordinary. One day, that tug leads her to a magical street circus, hidden in plain sight among the canals and boardwalks of Venice Beach. For the first time in Maddy’s life, she finally feels like she belongs. But the circus is in grave danger. Maddy will need to confront the frightening side of magic, as well as her own deepest fears, if she’s to have any hope of saving the place she dreams of calling home.

By her 14th birthday, Babe Killingsworth measures six-feet-nine-inches and weighs 342 pounds. In 1896, what other options does a giant have but to join a carnival? Her only real talent is handling animals. The cheap outfit her feckless father sells her off to offers critters galore; an escape from Neal, Idaho; and a bit of fame. It also opens the doorway to exploitation and neglect. Enter Carlotta Jones, billed as the world’s smallest girl, whose elephant act leaves much to be desired. At 30 inches tall, Carlotta is beautiful, spoiled, demanding, and has very little talent.
