Morgenstern is so talented in creating a picture in her reader’s heads and I can’t tell you how much I wish the circus was real. Now that I’ve closed the book for the last time, Le Cirque de Reves feels like a place I have visited, enjoyed, maybe even lived inside for a period of time. Rarely have I read a book that so thoroughly engulfed me in the world being created on the page. Little do they know, the circus doubles as the chessboard for a competition between two real magicians… The traveling Cirque de Reves is opened only from sundown to sun-up and is bursting with illusionists, contortionists, and tents filled with elements a human could almost believe is real magic.
Today? The most magnificent, unusual circus anyone has ever seen.
Yesterday, it was an empty field in London, a patch of land in Australia, or a quiet street corner in New York City.
