Books with title The Secrets of Venus

Everyone has a secret. But sometimes a little secret can become a big problem. That’s what happens when circus mouse Gert’s secret pen pal, a pig named Pablo, runs away to join Sir Sidney’s Circus. Pablo doesn’t want to be sold to Prinkle’s Pork Chops. Farmer Farley doesn’t really want to sell Pablo, either, but he needs money to save his farm. When the New Pork Times announces a pig race with a five-thousand-dollar prize, the members of Sir Sidney’s Circus--Gert, her brother Bert, Elsa the elephant, Leo the lion, and their friends--hope they’ve found a way to save Pablo and Farmer Farley’s farm, too. The race is on in Secrets of the Circus.
