Skycircus by Peter Bunzl is the breathtaking third installment in the award-winning Cogheart Adventures series. Following the events of Cogheart and Moonlocket, Lily, Robert, and their mechanical fox, Malkin, find themselves drawn into a spectacular new mystery. When an invitation arrives for a traveling skycircus, the trio is swept up into the clouds for what promises to be a magnificent show. However, beneath the glitter and the high-flying stunts of the ringmaster Slim Vane, a darker secret is waiting to be uncovered.
As Lily discovers more about her own past and her connection to the circus’s strange performers, the stakes become dangerously high. Peter Bunzl expertly builds a steampunk world filled with airships, clockwork automatons, and mechanical marvels that will capture the imagination of any young reader. The story moves at a breakneck pace, blending heart-pounding action with a touching exploration of what it means to truly belong.
This novel is a perfect choice for fans of fantasy and adventure who enjoy richly detailed worlds and courageous protagonists. While it is part of a series, the vivid descriptions of the floating circus and the soaring heights of the adventure make it a standout reading experience in its own right. It remains a firm favorite for middle-grade readers who love a blend of history and science fiction.
