NOW IN PAPERBACK! âYoungsters will find reading smooth sailing and look forward to future escapades.â âKirkus Reviews For many years, Sir Sidneyâs Circus has traveled by train. But one day a letter arrives from Miss Flora Endora Eliza LaBuena LaPasta inviting the circus to travel aboard the SS Spaghetti. Who can resist? The Spaghetti is a floating palace of elegance and entertainment. Thereâs only one problem: Miss LaPasta doesnât want Barnabas Brambles to come aboard, because sheâs heard heâs the meanest man alive. Lucky for Barnabas Brambles, his boss is Sir Sidney, the nicest man alive. Sir Sidney insists the entire circus, including Barnabas Brambles, accept the invitation. But Leo doesnât like water. Elsaâs never been swimming. The Famous Flying Banana Brothers have no idea where theyâll put their trapeze. And whatâs that large object up ahead in the water? Praise for the Three-Ring Rascals Series: âThe story zips along, the text and illustrations are full of playful surprises, and the author sustains a tone of rare and genuine sweetness . . . Rich and inventive.â âChicago Tribune âAbsurd situations, winning characters and plenty of heartfelt moments and laughs combine to make this a surefire hit.â âKirkus Reviews âA fun pick for fans of silly stories and for reluctant readers, too.â âSchool Library Journal
