Fizzlebert Stump: The Boy Who Ran Away From the Circus (and joined the library)
A.F. Harrold, Sarah Horne
‘There are many boys in the world, all slightly different from one another, and most of them are referred to by names. These are often John or Jack or Desmond, but sometimes they are James or Philip or Simon. Once, and once only, there was a boy whose name was Fizzlebert.’
Fizzlebert Stump lives in a travelling circus. But although he gets to hang around with acrobats, play the fool with clowns, and put his head in a lion’s mouth every night, he’s the only kid there – and he’s bored. But then Fizz decides to join a library, and life suddenly gets a lot more exciting, when a simple library card application leads to him being kidnapped by a pair of crazed pensioners! Will he ever see the circus again?

This is a fictional book about the adventures of a boy called Fizz. My favourite character was Charles who was the circus lion and it was Charles who rescues Fizz from the kidnappers. I would recommend it to others.

The motto of the book is not to run away form your parents. My favourite character was Fizzlebert.

I thought it was very funny and a really good book. My favourite character was Charles the Lion because he was a lion with rubber teeth. My favourite part of the book was when Charles tried to eat Mrs. Stinkenthrottle. I would deffintely recommend this book.
