When the circus rolls into town, citizens of Chicago are captivated by the Magnificent Mitzi and her daring equestrian bareback riding act! What spectators don’t know is that life in the Genesius’ Brothers Circus is a far cry from the circus life Mitzi and her brother, Aaron, loved back home in Germany.
When not performing in the ring, Mitzi is being held captive. In exchange for her life, her brother is forced to do the evil ringmaster’s dirty work. Things go from bad to worse when Aaron disappears and Mitzi is locked up next to The Ferocious Brutus, the man-eating lion from Tanzania!
Abandoned and frightened, Mitzi begins to lose hope, but an unlikely ally might be her ticket to freedom.
Suggested for ages 10+.
