Just as the Quirks are settling in to Normal, the circus comes to town! At school, Molly, Penelope and Finn are all learning how to juggle, tightrope walk and fly the trapeze! Meanwhile, at home they are putting similar skills to good use . . . It takes fancy footwork to keep their nosy neighbour, Mrs DeVille, from snooping around and uncovering the Quirk family secrets - not to mention their family's pet monster, Nibblet! One thing's for sure: life in Normal is a high-flying adventure!

Things get a little (OK, a lot) Quirky as twins Molly and Penelope prepare to turn ten. It all starts with Grandpa Quill's annual birthday scavenger hunt, when Gramps hides mini-presents for the girls to find leading up to a SUPER-special big present. This year they're hoping for another family pet. But the girls can't agree on what kind of pet, and soon they're fighting. It's always been The Quirks vs. The World ...but what happens when it's Quirk vs. Quirk? Will the girls learn how to get along in time for a truly magical birthday? With its quirky packaging, b&w illustrations throughout, and funny and heartfelt moments, this book is sure to satisfy The Quirks' growing fan base.
With its cookie cutter houses, welcoming committees, and all-town competitions, Normal, Michigan, seems like a perfect fit for nine-year-old new resident Molly, the only non-magical person in her family.
