The boys soon learned that the newspaper reporter and the state trooper were trying to uncover a pack of tricksters who were cheating the circus audiences, and as one strange and frightening event follows another, Djuna and Tommy are caught up in the glittering, upside down world of the circus and find themselves in the middle of one of the most weird and dangerous mysteries they have ever encountered!
