This book kept popping up on lists of books to read this year. Man, am I glad I read it. It is truly the story of a circus that only opens at night. The premise is that there is real magic going on in the circus and the performers are tasked with making it seem non-magical to protect their secret. There is also a challenge/battle between two illusionists on the stage of the circus. Sounds pretty complicated. Maybe I'm not the best summarizer (I probably would have failed that section of the state standardized tests nowadays).
I have to say, I finished this book two or three days ago and I am still wanting more! I wish there was more story to read and that the book wasn't over. After the humdrum books I've been reading lately, it feels so good to be left wanting more instead of semi-relieved to be done with a book. I would recommend this book, for sure!
