The Sunburnt Circus

Description

Simon and his brother Timothy are the sons of the Ringmaster of a travelling circus. Simon begins to have strange fragmented dreams of something that happened to him when he was very small. At the same time as the dreams are occurring, there are a series of serious accidents that happen in the circus and a strange power manifests itself. The circus crew are confused by the accidents and the power that changes things, and they disagree on how best to explain it. Has Simon’s past got something to do with the strange power that is occurring? Meanwhile, other members of the circus crew have their own problems and past to deal with. Matt and Pete, the motor bike stunt riders, seem to be carrying a dark secret from their earlier years that eventually catches up with them.
