About the story

Miles Wednesday is an orphan living in a barrel; when one night the circus quietly moves into town. That same night Miles has a conversation with a tiger and a whole series of unexplainable events begin from there.

My opinion

This is an extraordinary story of friendship and the unusual adventures Miles encounters while trying to help his new friend. I would tell a friend to read this remarkable story.

About the story

Miles is one year older and embarks on a new adventure with his angel friend Little. Together they both join the Circus Bolsillo and travel to interesting places with some unique individuals! While traveling Miles learns about his parents, meets some hairy tiny beings called Fir Bolg, and searches for the Tiger's Egg.

My opinion

This is a great second book in the series, full of adventure and plot twists. Although this is a great book the reader needs to be familiar with the first book to understand all of the references made concerning Miles' past. I would recommend this book to my friends.

About the story

Miles found the Tiger's Egg in the second book, but the villans have stolen it from him. This new adventure takes Miles and his friends on two perilous sky voyages to the desert countries and back. Although they always seem to be a step behind Cortado and Tau-Tau, Miles unknowingly holds the key to the mystical powers of the Egg.

My opinion

The final tale for Miles, Little and all of their old and new friends. This is a wonderful finale. All the questions are answered and Miles can now look ahead to his future. Who knows what adventrues it might hold. If you've read the first two books you need to read this one too.
