The Ghosts of Magnificent Children

The year is 1848. It is a time when magic and ghosts exist.

Four Magnificent Children are captured by Badblood s Circus.

Theo can look into your eyes and reveal your secret thoughts, which come out
of his mouth like a swarm of bees.

Ginny has a bird called Blue living inside her. Her ribs are woven together to
form a birdcage. Blue perches on a swing made from one of her ribs.

And the Thought-reading Twins, Archie and Millie Luxbridge, have an
extraordinary ability to read each other s minds.

They become stars of the circus but are unaware that Badblood has a dark and
secret plan.

One hundred years later the children s ghosts appear on an island off the
coast of Ireland where a boy called Rua befriends them. Rua discovers that a
terrible fate awaits them and, in a desperate race against time, he struggles
to learn how they may be saved.”
