Show of Wonders

Bianca loves taking care of animals backstage and out of the spotlight for the traveling circus called Show of Wonders.  But then an unexpected event causes her to become a reluctant performer under the big top. As Bianca's popularity with audiences grows, she threatens to displace the reigning star of the show, a beautiful high-wire walker - who also happens to be Bianca's stepmother. When Bianca discovers her stepmother's jealousy won't stop short of magic-fueled murder, she must rely on her own wits - and the help of some mysterious strangers - to survive."This story was so original and immersive, it made for a great read!" Judge for the Rooglewood Press Five Poisoned Apples writing contest. Show of Wonders was selected as a finalist entry.
