Brilliant Boy #7  (24 pages)
The Great Thunder Circus: Part 1 of 6

Gill, Poetica and Bookman are invited by their school gym instructor to a weekend of fun and relaxation at his brother's circus. But their cheerful mood fades soon after they arrive and learn that the circus is facing financial difficulties. A fatal mishap involving an aerialist during a performance has brought negative publicity and resulted in decreased attendance to the shows. Plus, something is upsetting Grape, a star performing gorilla, and may jeopardize his act. All these contribute to a tense situation at the circus as it prepares for the evening's premiere performance in the county.

The Great Thunder Circus: Part 2 of 6

The kids spend the rest of the afternoon at the circus midway and meet their classmate Stymie, who has come watch the performance. The four kids wander the grounds, and soon learn that the situation at the circus is deeper and more mysterious than it appears: a story of the ill-fated aerialist's ghost spooking Grape the gorilla, a rumour of his return in tonight's show, a fortune-teller's prediction of danger. These ominous warnings has Stymie unnerved— that is, until he meets a romantic interest: a young aerialist named Isbel.
