Embark on a magical journey in Ned’s Circus of Marvels!

Prepare to be amazed again with the second instalment in this rip-roaring series…

Ned Waddlesworth has always considered his world to be exceptionally ordinary.

Until the day he discovers it ISN’T. AT ALL.

Because on Ned’s 13th birthday he discovers that everything magical he’s ever read about or imagined is REAL. And without him, the world will soon be engulfed in monstrous beasts and beings.

With the help of a robot mouse, a girl witch and a flying circus unlike any other, it’s up to Ned to save the day!

This amazing series is an action-packed page-turner, filled with explosions, chases and death-defying escapes! And its unforgettable cast of characters – including a gentlemanly ape, an octogenarian who can read your future by slapping your face and a man who can turn into mist – make the books unputdownable reads. Magic!

Super circus facts

‘Circus’ means ‘circle’ in Latin. It describes the way the audience sits in a circle around the action.

Scared of clowns? Your fear is called coulrophobia!

Early circuses were mainly demonstrations of horse-riding tricks, with clowns and acrobats used to fill the gaps between the horse shows.
