Zula and Milo are back on another thrilling, time travelling adventure as their magical bathtub catapults them to the year 1845. Here they meet trailblazer Pablo Fanque, the first Black circus owner and master equestrian, and are plunged into a vibrant world of Victorian acrobats and daring lion tamers.But a series of puzzling events threaten to destroy Pablo's circus dreams, putting the entire performance - and Zula and Milo's return home - at risk.
With the clock ticking down to opening night, can Zula unravel the mystery in time?
Discover a page-turning adventure of friendship and courage that celebrates a remarkable figure from Black British history for 8 year olds and up.
I really enjoyed this fun, pacy time-travelling adventure, which has lots of humour and a mystery at its heart. Zula and Milo are likeable, pro-active main characters and I loved how supportive they are of each other. The Victorian circus bursts to life, with historical details sprinkled through with a light touch, whilst teaching the reader about Victorian currency, customs and slang. I loved the way that real historical details are woven through the story without detracting from the fast-paced adventure! E. L. Norry (author of Fable House)
