Hurrah for the Circus centres around a young girl called Fennella. She lives with her aunt as her parents are dead. Her aunt gets married and sends her to live with her other aunt and uncle who live in the circus. The story takes off here and Blyton tells the story with great gusto and charm,that will enchant any young child. This was the first book I ever read and it instantly hooked me on reading. I am now studying to become an English teacher! This book is excellent. It reminds us all that J.K. Rowling is not the first great childrens writer. For your childs sake , YOU MUST BUY THIS BOOK !!!!
