by Kate Klise, Sarah M. Klise, and M Sarah Klise

Published 10 September 2013
When Sir Sidney, a kindly old circus owner, becomes too tired to travel with his show, he places a Help Wanted ad in the newspaper. Enter Barnabas Brambles: "I have a degree in lion taming from the University of Piccadilly Circus." But does Leo the lion need taming? Will Elsa the elephant still get her gourmet peanuts? And what will Brambles say when he discovers Bert and Gert-two mice who travel with the circus on popcorn cleanup patrol? Brambles has big plans: More cities! More shows! No more free popcorn. Soon he's made a big mess of Sir Sidney's Circus, but Leo, Elsa, Bert, Gert, and the rest of the performers agree: The Show Must Go On! Black and white line drawings throughout.

Cover of Secrets of the Circus, 5
Can you keep a secret?
Everyone has a secret. But sometimes a little secret can become a big problem.

That's what happens when circus mouse Gert's secret pen pal, a pig named Pablo, runs away to join Sir Sidney's Circus. Pablo doesn't want to be sold to Prinkle's Pork Chops. Farmer Farley doesn't really want to sell Pablo, either, but he needs money to save his farm.

When the New Pork Times announces a pig race with a five-thousand-dollar prize, the members of Sir Sidney's Circus hope they've found a way to save Pablo and Farmer Farley's farm, too.

The race is on in Secrets of the Circus.
