Anton and Cecil, Book 3, by Lisa Martin, and Valerie Martin is the third book in the Anton and Cecil historical fiction series. After traveling by ship and train in the first two books, they get an opportunity to travel in the air in this outing. Anton and Cecil hook up with a bloodhound, Ruby LaNez in Chicago, to try a solve the mystery of the stolen white puppies. After helping to capture a bank robber, they head off to the fair to track down half a dozen missing white puppies. When they think they know who the culprits are, Cecil accidentally ends up in a hot air balloon. After a disaster in the sky, he ends up at the circus where he locates the missing puppies. With the help of some of the circus animals and a group of overgrown rats, he comes up with a plan to free a Siberian tiger and rescue the puppies. Anton and Ruby follow their noses and also end up at the circus.
What an enjoyable adventure for a pair of adventurous cats. The illustrations are scattered throughout this early chapter book and add just enough visual appeal that children will enjoy. For readers who love animal adventurers this is a fun series. This is an early chapter book that would be great for those late primary, junior readers to enjoy.

I received an advanced copy this book via NetGalley and Algonquin Young Readers. Thanks so much.
  
Breath taking!
This musical is amazing! The characters are complex and relatable and the music connects to your very soul. A fun, family friendly movie with great messages about the important things in life.

The story follows P.T. Barnum and how he created the circus as we know it today. The entire film makes you feel like you are a kid again, experiencing an amazing show for the first time. It's definitely magical!

Not What I Expected
I was really excited to see the movie, I guess I didn't realize it was a musical. This would have been wonderful without the music. The story line is amazing and it explained so much about the beginning of the circus. It's not horrible, but you do have to sit through a lot of singing.

Fantastic concept, stick with it
Erin Morgernstern is one of my favourite writers, she needs to be made more main stream (or maybe not?!). The Night Circus builds such a beautiful plot and premise for the story, I felt like I was whisked away myself. The story us fantastic and I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone. A bit slow to start but completely worth it.

Movie Favorite

"A dark and unknown masterpiece of animated cinema: the adventures of a little girl taken in by circus freaks who make her suffer the worst atrocities – until our young heroine falls madly in love with the dwarf of the troupe. Its inventiveness is both incredibly visual and poetic, and Midori imprints its barbaric and desperate mark on your soul for a long time after seeing it. The nightmarish counterpart to Miyazaki’s films."
