The Magnificent Lizzie Brown and the Mysterious Phantom Zusammenfassung

The Magnificent Lizzie Brown and the Mysterious Phantom Vicki Lockwood

Lizzie Brown has escaped the slums of Victorian London and joined Fitzy's Travelling Circus. By accident, she discovers that she has an amazing ability: in a world of charlatans and tricksters, Lizzie may be the only truly clairvoyant palm reader in existence! While reading a client's palm, she sees shocking images of a masked man taking part in a violent robbery. Lizzie musters together her gang of circus children - the Penny Gaff Gang, all with their own amazing talents - to reveal the true identity of The Phantom robber.

The Magnificent Lizzie Brown and the Mysterious Phantom Bewertungen

Once Lizzie escapes from drunken, thieving Pa's greedy grasp and stumbles upon Fitzy's Traveling Circus, a new world opens for her. There she finds death-defying high-wire acts, acrobats on horseback, trained elephants, and, most important of all, a welcoming community for a young runaway. Well, fortuneteller Madame Aurora is not so welcoming after Lizzie replaces her. But Lizzie has a gift of visions, and so she begins to solve the mystery of the "Phantom" burglar-mugger who is terrorizing London. Expect plenty of action and suspense, especially when Lizzie and her young circus cohorts try to track down the evildoer. The surprise twist at the end piles on the melodrama, yet Lockwood's vivid rendering of the circus pageant against the backdrop of London's dicey nineteenth-century street life grabs readers. The author also weaves in elements of class tension between a populace happy to be entertained while looking down on lower-status entertainers. Lizzie will be back for more big-top escapades in this new series. - Anne O'Malley * Booklist *
