| Publisher Description: FINNIGAN, his best "circus mice" pals Maximillian and Leroy, and Boomer-the strangely silent family dog-return in this sequel to the award-winning FINNIGAN THE CIRCUS CAT. Rescued as a tiny kitten by eight-year-old Lucy Farnsworth and smuggled in secret to the family circus museum, Finnigan is now all grown up with a natural flair for the flying trapeze. However he's still flying "under the radar" in the barn which doubles as the museum because Lucy's father is deathly allergic to cats. The arrangement works just fine for everyone...until two shady characters show up with plans to find and steal a treasure that's hidden in a broken down old wagon recently dropped off at the museum. While Finnigan and his friends set themselves to the task of finding the treasure first and scaring off the crooks, they find it's becoming harder and harder to keep Finnigan's presence a secret, particularly where Lucy's sharp-eyed little brother is concerned. And to top things off, Leroy must swallow his pride and misgivings to go undercover as A RAT to discover more about the unsavory strangers. Inspired by a real life "rescue kitten" and filled with narrow escapes, sleight of hand (or tails, as the case may be), charming illustrations by the author (several drawn from vintage circus wagons), and circus history from the Golden Age of circus parades, FINNIGAN AND THE LOST CIRCUS WAGON will charm young readers and the grownups who love to read with them. |
