The Night Circus

by Erin Morgenstern
Hennepin County Library audioCDs 11 discs
narrated by Jim Dale
genre: historical fantasy

What an unusual, but very captivating story! Two young people, Celia and Marco, are bound by two older magicians when they are mere children. They don't fully understand what the "challenge" even is as they are training to undertake it. The Night Circus is created to be the venue for the challenge and it is filled with unusual people and attractions.

Amanda Wermerskirchen recommended this to me. I'll have to let her know how much I enjoyed it. Absolutely captivating and extraordinary! (It was also interesting to be listening to this intermixed with my reading of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.)
