Circus Galacticus
"An exuberant, adventurous tightrope walk over the stars."—Lisa Mantchev, author ofEyes Like Stars"Highly, highly recommended!"—Elizabeth C. Bunce, author ofA Curse Dark as Gold"A book that reaches for the stars and provides a thrilling ride."—Kirkus"Reminiscent of the juveniles of old, Fagan’s story makes sci fi fun. It’s loaded with wild coincidences and easily spotted inspirations (X-Men, Doctor Who), yet the underlying idea of valuing diversity, friendship, and self-esteem shines, carried by Fagan’s solid writing, appealing characters, and sprinkles of whimsy."—Publishers Weekly"Fagan delivers [her story] convincingly in Trix’s brisk narration. Ultimately, and entertainingly, the big-top inhabitants end up seeming like artsy American high-school students, and a pitiful lamentation like 'I am the worst friend in the universe' for once doesn’t seem like an exaggeration."—Booklist"Like many of Fagan's female protagonists, Trix is lovably flawed, and her often-misguided stubbornness is forgivable in light of her fierce loyalty and determination."—Bulletin
