When an artist comes to the organic vegetable garden, all the scarecrow’s senses are flipped upside down. Is Harry Also in love?
There’s no time for him to find out, as he is kidnapped and joins the travelling circus known as ‘Milo’s Magical Show’. With horses, Milo and George, Harry travels the Fintry Hills in Scotland, accompanied by Peawee, the Wuidwisp and his young family.
On their journey, they meet Travellers’ families, enter a competition, watch an amazing magician, find treasure and settle down, until their peaceful life is shattered by the return of the evil Droigs and their Jags: a powerful hornet-like insect.
When Peawee’s daughter Hattie is kidnapped, will they be able to find her and the other innocent fairies before it’s too late?
Harry Also joins the Circus is thrilling third book in the Scottish series The Tales of Harry Also, exploring the different avenues we are confronted with in life, and righting some wrongs along the way.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
This is the final instalment of the Harry Also series - I loved them all. Celia writes so beautifully about nature and what it means to connect with the world we live in and with one another. She writes with a poet's eye, and the wisdom of Harry's eye is a tonic for all of us. This is a book about looking past the trappings of our modern lives to find the place where true happiness lives.
I have just finished a thrilling read about Harry joining the Circus. You do know how to pull your readers into a fantastic and charming world. I love your descriptions of the landscape, of characters, of clothing and of course of all the adventures they experience. I especially liked your wonderful illustrations! So let’s hope that many parents will get your books as Christmas presents for their children and not only give but also read the books with them.
In Harry Also’s new journey, the beauty of nature and its enchanting landscapes unfold in a story brimming with heart and adventure. Written in a whimsical style, Harry’s tale is a heart-warming and engaging read for all ages, highlighting challenges, determination and resilience when he joins the circus. The author’s voice shaped by international influence and lived experience sings throughout. Between the lines sensitive topics are broached with humour, while subtle hints of romance flutter on the breeze. Echoes of a yearning to belong and a pining for self-expression will reverberate in the minds of the readers. David G Pullar author ‘Wee Bessie’, storyteller Heart of The Travellers.
