A summer by the seashore turns into a fantastical adventure for Tess & Max in this magical tale filled with excitement, acrobatics, hypnosis, and wonder. Tess and Max are back in England for another summer with their Aunt Evie--this time by the seashore in South Devon. And they're incredibly excited about the travelling carnival that's come to town. There are rides, games, acrobats, The House of Mirrors--and even a psychic, with a beautiful wagon all her own. In a visit to the psychic's wagon, while Tess is being hypnotized, the wagon seems to move. Before Tess can shake herself out of the hypnosis, before Max can do anything, they seem to be travelling--along with the rest of the carnival--too quickly for the two of them to jump out. But where are they going and what awaits them? Will they be caught in a world different from their own? And do the Baranova twins, acrobats who miss their sister almost as much as Tess and Max miss their family, hold the keys to the mystery? Internationally bestselling author Amy Ephron returns with a companion novel to The Castle in the Mist and creates a magical tale filled with adventure, mystery, fantasy, family, and fun. Praise for Carnival Magic: "Full of wonder and real-life enchantment, Amy Ephron's Carnival Magic is a charming adventure that will make a believer out of anyone!" —Rachel Vail, author of Well, That Was Awkward and the Friendship Ring series "Tess is a thoroughly modern heroine: She's athletic, impulsive, and fearless . . . The siblings are authentic children [and] the fantastic elements are the stuff of daydreams. Perfect for classroom read-alouds." —Kirkus Reviews "The short chapters filled with mystery and action will have readers eagerly continuing to discover the secrets that await them. . . . Fans of the first book will be eager for this fun middle-grade fantasy with a classic sensibility." —Booklist "The setting is contemporary—yet the language and tone feel distinctly nostalgic. This novel, which works as a stand alone, will captivate readers who enjoy their whimsy with a dash of risk." —School Library Journal "[Carnival Magic is] a softer otherworldly take on childhood mystery, reminiscent of classics like A Secret Garden . . . [it] is in itself an escape. Tess especially follows in that lineage of strong, intelligent female characters – a sort of Lucy Pevensie/Hermione Granger hybrid who is a leader, who believes in magic." —Teen Vogue "Amy Ephron has always been a magical storyteller. . . . In Carnival Magic, the companion book to Ephron’s successful The Castle in the Mist . . . Tess and Max are teaching children and their parents about the power of thoughtful decision-making, loyalty, and self-confidence. Life lessons and carnival rides . . . the perfect beach read for all ages." —Parade “Ephron renders this magical world with such assertive beauty that readers of all ages, who are fortunate enough to believe in the power of magic, will enjoy immersing themselves in the roller-coaster fun of these stories, and come to trust, even if for a short time, that in this ‘alternate universe’ it is possible for us to come together and ‘touch the sky.’” —Jewish Journal

The comic archetype of the Little Man--a "nobody" who stands up to unfairness--is central to the films of Woody Allen and Charlie Chaplin. Portraying the alienation of life in an indifferent world with a mix of pathos, irony and slapstick, both adopted absurdist personas--Chaplin's bumbling yet clever Tramp with his shabby clothes, and Allen's fool with his metaphysical witticisms and proclivity to fall in love too quickly. Both men were auteurs who managed to retain creative control of their work and achieve worldwide popularity. Both suffered from scandals regarding their attraction to younger women. Drawing on psychoanalysis and gender studies, this book explores their films as barometers of their respective historical moments, marking cultural shifts from modernism to postmodernism.

One night, a wonderful event took place in Willow Creek, a quiet neighborhood. The carnival came out of nowhere, and all the kids in the neighborhood turned their heads to see it. It was full of bright lights and fun things to do. But this wasn't your average carnival—it hid a dangerous secret. It was cursed and could take people to a different world that was far away from their own. There were four brave friends named Alex, Bella, Charlie, and Dana. They were all interested. They chose to go to this interesting carnival together even though they didn't know what troubles would come up. They knew what they had to do: end the spell and set everyone free. They quickly learned that this trip would test them in ways they hadn't thought of when they first walked into the fair. To break the curse, they had to get through the tasks and trials in each game, ride, and tent. There was more to it than just having fun at the carnival. They had to use all of their bravery, cleverness, and teamwork to solve a real-life puzzle. The friends had to show how brave they were by riding a ghost train, figuring out mystery clowns' puzzles, and getting through mirror mazes. Every problem they solved brought them closer together despite their differences, which made their friendship stronger. As they went around the fair, they learned how important it is to work together and support each other. They learned that friendship was more than just having fun. It was about helping each other through fear and uncertainty and using their own skills to get through tough times. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, they finally found the source of the carnival's curse. By facing the magician's ghost and showing how strong their relationship is, they were able to break the curse and free themselves and the carnival-goers. Their story became a tale in Willow Creek, showing what can happen when brave and smart friends work together. Although the mysterious carnival is no longer there, the lessons it taught Alex, Bella, Charlie, and Dana about being brave and working together would always be with them, shining like carnival lights. Chapter 1: A Strange Arrival. In Willow Creek, a village where things were getting better every day, something amazing took place, and everyone was thrilled. Imagine waking up to find a carnival on the edge of town that just popped out of nowhere. But this wasn't your average fair. It had rides that seemed to go up into the sky, bright lights that twinkled like a million stars, and the delicious smell of popcorn that made your mouth water just thinking about it. It had turns and twists that didn't make sense, like something from a book or a dream. In the town, Dana, Charlie, Bella, and Alex stood out as friends. What kind of friends were these? The kind that are always looking for the next cool thing to do and are truly interested in new things. Because of this, they were interested in finding out more about the fair after hearing about it. Nobody in their town knew about it—not a single person. This made them wonder how it got there. A mystery that interested them and offered a fun time that they couldn't refuse. They chose to go together because trips were always more fun with friends. They were getting more and more excited inside as they got closer to the fair. Up close, the brighter lights, lively ride music, and excited yells and laughing from people who had already come made the carnival look like the happiest place on earth. The friends looked at each other and knew that this would be an amazing meeting. As soon as they walked into the fair, the sights and sounds shocked them. There were games with gifts for people who could win them, rides that threw people forward and backward, and stands with all kinds of snacks. It was a crazy, exciting dream come true for everyone. As they looked around, though, they noticed some small problems and a mysterious air that made them wonder what secrets the circus was hiding. The friends decided to stick together and check out every game, ride, and corner of the fair to find out what was really going on with its strange look. The excitement of the journey made them feel better, gave them courage, and made them want to learn more. Even though they didn't know it yet, they were about to go on an adventure they could never have imagined. A trip that would put their relationship to the test, make them braver, and show them what the real draw was about the carnival that showed up out of the blue in Willow Creek's quiet town. Chapter 2: The First Signs. Alex, Bella, Charlie, and Dana knew right away that something was wrong when they walked into the fair. Going to this place is always fun and enjoyable, but this time it was even better. Instead, there was a strange feeling in the air, like a quiet but noticeable buzz. It was clear that this was not a normal fair trip because the hair on their arms stood on end. The people who ran the rides and events didn't do anything extra to acknowledge the kids. They looked like they were just going through the motions and not paying attention to the people around them, even though they were there. It looked like they were thinking about something else. At the fair, the friends did everything they could to have fun. When they rode the Ferris wheel, it lifted them high into the air and let them see the whole carnival lit up below. When seen from that high up, it should have been fun, but something felt off. When they got on the roller coaster, the fast speeds, twists, and turns made their stomachs jump to their throats with joy. Most of the time, the best part would have been laughing and screaming with joy as they watched the roller coaster race down the tracks. They tried hard to enjoy the high, but they couldn't get rid of the uncomfortable feeling that something wasn't right. There was no easy way to explain this. The rides worked well, the food smelled great, and the events were fun. But it looked like a thin layer of mystery covered everything, making the bright lights look less bright and the happy music sound a little less happy. They looked at each other to see if everything was in their heads. But the way their friends reacted showed them that everyone else felt the same way. All of them seemed to agree that something was amiss and needed to be fixed. They weren't scared by this information; in fact, it interested them. In their core, they were daring individuals. So, they kept looking for more signs that would help them figure out why this fair felt so different from the others. Was it just that the staff seemed to be lost in their own thoughts? Or was there something else going on that the laughter and music were hiding? Their goal was to find out the truth. Little things that didn't seem right became clear to them as they went from game to game and ride to ride. Some sounds seemed to come from nowhere, and there was a feeling of being watched. With each new finding, they became more determined. They were sure they were going to find something important. Something that would explain the strange feeling they'd had at the fair from the start. They were ready to learn more about the mystery, and their friendship and bravery would help them.
