The traveling Medici Bros. Circus is made up of a ragtag group. There's Miss Atlantis, the resident mermaid, who is trying to find her voice. And Rongo, a strongman juggling more duties than he can keep track of. There's also a brokenhearted family in need of some healing: Holt-a former Stallion Star and war veteran; his daughter, Milly-a budding scientist with little interest in taking up the family act; and her little brother, Joe-a clumsy kid who longs to be in the ring.
But everything changes for the circus when a little elephant with a unique talent comes onto the scene. And when the Medici Bros. Circus joins with V. A. Vandevere's elaborate Dreamland, they're all thrown into a new world-one that might not be as ideal as it first appears… Tui T. Sutherland and Kari Sutherland are sisters and best friends. They grew up in South America, traveling a lot and moving several times (and they're still only about 80 percent certain that their parents weren't secret agents). Kari now lives in New Jersey, while Tui lives in Boston, but they use every excuse they can to see each other (like, say, writing a book together).
