Fagan, Deva, Circus Galacticus. Houton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011. Pgs. 291. Language: PG-13 (21 swears, no “f”s), Violence: PG, Sexual Content: GTrix feels like an outcast. She’s an orphan on scholarship at an elite boarding school. She makes one wrong move and loses her only chance to get a gymnastics scholarship. Then a man with a silver mask shows up and tries to steal the one thing her late parents told her to protect. With more questions than answers, she ends up visiting the Circus Galacticus. Soon she finds herself on an intergalactic adventure with the man in the silver mask close behind.
This story about finding oneself has a limited audience due to language and a narrow plot that drags on in places. Would not recommend for most libraries. MS. NO. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media Specialist, Olympus Jr. High.
