Review
Ethan McDonald, Elwood, Age 10
This book is about a boy named Griff who belongs to a circus. After escaping from Master Tyren, he needs to find out the mysterious connection between him and a boy called Lute.
I really liked this book because it’s funny, it has an interesting plot and it makes you feel like you’re there because of the descriptive language. Some downsides are this book starts slowly and ends quickly.You’ll probably find they’re on the run too much. Some upsides are, it has interesting names like Davren, Rix and Mungo.
You’d like this book if you liked The Book from Baden Dark.
