Maddigans Fantasia by Margaret Mahy

A compelling fantasy adventure that will appeal to the 8-14 year olds, Maddigan's Fantasia is an epic story with classic Mahy elements that won't disappoint her many fans and will most certainly enthral new readers. In a time not too far from our own, a colourful and bizarre band of brave travellers dare to travel through a post-apocalyptic landscape - the acrobats, clowns, trapeze artists, jugglers and musicians who make up 'Maddigan's Fantasia'. At the centre of the troupe is 12-year-old Garland, daughter of the late Ferdy Maddigan, the ringmaster of the Fantasia. Garland has made this trip many times before and at each stop there are always new friends to make, enemies to defeat, obstacles to be overcome and puzzles to solve. But this time, the journey offers more challenges than expected for Garland and Maddigan's Fantasia. Three mysterious children join the performers and with no explanation for who they are or where they have come from, they prove a dangerous enigma for Garland, who slowly unlocks their secret.
