The Midnight Carnival by Erika Mcgann

The Midnight Carnival by Erika Mcgann

Winner of the Waverton Good Read Children's Prize 2014! A bearded ballerina, a young contortionist and a troupe of creepy clowns ... It’s the end of summer when a weird carnival rolls into town. Grace and her five magic friends make the most of it. But the gaudy lights and colours hide a dark secret. And when the girls are driven apart by doubts – and a wicked enchantment – they start keeping secrets too... As the most powerful evil they’ve ever encountered closes in, can they still trust each other with their lives? 'McGann’s debut is funny, a bit scary and surprisingly realistic... Preteens will enjoy the easy read, identify with the characters and ask for more' Kirkus Reviews on The Demon Notebook McGann has created a satisfying, entertaining page turner... the castles, dungeons, fairy creatures and magical wizardry match pretty much anything you’d come across in Hogwarts' booksforkeeps.co.uk on The Watching Wood
