Description
Treachery, tight-ropes and trickery combine in this incredible third Cogheart Adventure: the bestselling series of fantastical imagination set in a gripping Victorian world, from award-winning Peter Bunzl.
Old secrets can weigh heavy when you want to fly.
Invited to a one-off spectacular show by Slimwood's Stupendous Travelling Skycircus, Lily, Robert and mechanical fox Malkin can't wait to jump onboard.
But behind the daredevil deeds of the bewitching bird-girl and the lobster-handed boy, something sinister lurks. And soon, the watchful ringmistress, Madame Lyons-Mane, reveals a deadly plan for Lily. Could the secrets of Lily's past hold their only chance of escape from this terrible trap?

Skycircus takes readers to an even higher level with a mesmerising and imaginative adventure that delivers wall-to-wall thrills * Lancashire Evening Post *
The book most certainly didn't disappoint and was a thrilling page turner from start to finish. It was full of excitement and kept me on the edge of my seat (literally!). * K & O, Bonkers About Books (blogger review) *

Author's Bio
Peter Bunzl grew up in South London in a rambling Victorian house with three cats, two dogs, one sister, an antique-dealer dad and an artist mum. He is a BAFTA-winning animator, as well as a writer and film-maker. Peter's debut novel, Cogheart, has been shortlisted for lots of awards, including the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. Like Lily and Robert, he loves adventures and reading penny dreadfuls, but wishes dearly that he had a mechanical fox called Malkin.
