This book is about a girl [Trix], who finds an alien circus, and decides to join them. On the way she discovers secrets about the circus, and tries to stop […] Read more…
Giveaway open to Canadians. Yes, yes, we all love technology, but there are times that only a handwritten message will do. Family members were making fun of me just recently for still using an old-fashioned date book (how can you go wrong looking at gorgeous images of New York City every day?) but I’m just […] Read more…
