In the eigth book of the Calendar Mysteries - an early chapter book mystery series featuring the younger siblings of the A to Z Mysteries detectives - something special is coming to Green Lawn - a traveling circus! But when the performers arrive, they need help. Their show is a mess, and Bradley, Brian, Nate, and Lucy are happy to chip in. They fix up the equipment and find dazzling new acts, but what the show needs most is an acrobat. No one in town is brave enough to go up on the high trapeze, except for one mysterious masked person. If the kids could find out who it is, this might be the best circus ever - but it seems as if this acrobat doesn't want to be found!

This was a thoroughly enjoyable mystery for young readers. I love that themes of strong community and family are prevalent throughout the story. The four young kids who take on the responsibility for solving the mystery of the masked acrobat are careful of others' feelings, excited to help, and take seriously the task of being honest and dependable. I also love that the theme of pursuing one's dreams is explored and honored. And it doesn't hurt that all of this takes place against the fascinating backdrop of a traveling team of acrobats.

This is a great book for kids who love adventures and mysteries. I can't wait to introduce my kids to this entire series.
