The Night Circus
by Erin Morgenstern

Book Cover

The circus arrives without warning. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway–a duel between two young magicians. It is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Copies are available to borrow. Join us!
