Dunc and Amos hit the big top, which means there's trouble in the circus, and Dunc and Amos are in the center ring! Wanting to impress Melissa, the girl of his dreams, Amos Binder decides to be in the visiting circus, on the trapeze. But what Dunc and Amos don't know can ruin the circus! Amos would do anything to impress Melissa even if he doesn't KNOW how to fly on the trapeze! I thought the story was interesting because I like catchy stories with mystery. This novel also has adventure! I had to keep reading to solve the mystery because the plot dragged out, right to the end.

RECOMMENDATON: I recommend this book to anyone for it is areally an easy book to get into. "Duncan-Dunc-Culpepper saton the corner or the window and looked at the parrot in the cage hanging from the ceiling on the rusty chain. It smells like my uncle Alfred's feet when he takes his shoes off to pick his toes." Now I don't know about you but that really grabbed my eye because it is humorous. This book presents a good picture about friendship. "Amos-we've got to try this. It was your voice that made him talk. I promise." `Just once? And you promise?' Absolutely.'` All right.' This is a perfect example of friendship because Amos did something that he didn't want to do, but he did it because Dunc wanted him to. What's also nice about this book is that it is apart of an 18 book series. At the end of each book it has a little summary of another book in the series.
