Description: "An exuberant, adventurous tightrope walk over the stars." --Lisa Mantchev, author of Eyes Like Stars "Highly, highly recommended!" --Elizabeth C. Bunce, author of A Curse Dark as Gold "A book that reaches for the stars and provides a thrilling ride." -- Kirkus "Reminiscent of the juveniles of old, Fagan's story makes sci fi fun. It's loaded with wild coincidences and easily spotted inspirations (X-Men, Doctor Who), yet the underlying idea of valuing diversity, friendship, and self-esteem shines, carried by Fagan's solid writing, appealing characters, and sprinkles of whimsy." -- Publishers Weekly "Fagan delivers [her story] convincingly in Trix's brisk narration. Ultimately, and entertainingly, the big-top inhabitants end up seeming like artsy American high-school students, and a pitiful lamentation like 'I am the worst friend in the universe' for once doesn't seem like an exaggeration." --Booklist "Like many of Fagan's female protagonists, Trix is lovably flawed, and her often-misguided stubbornness is forgivable in light of her fierce loyalty and determination." -- Bulletin
