Follow the wildly imaginative adventures of Esme as she leaves
behind her circus home for the first time to spend the summer with
her cousins Magnus, Cosmo and Gus at Maclinkey Castle where it's
easy to get lost and where you can discover all sorts of weird and
wonderful animals in unlikely places - there are porcupines in
beds, lizards in drawers and giraffes on the loo. It's all a little
wonderful and a lot overwhelming and when her pet donkey, Donk,
turns up in a parcel sent from her parents, the fun really begins.
When hundreds of baby penguins hatch in Esme's top floor bedroom,
the children have to figure out how to get them outside. Esme and
her cousin have the ingenious idea of building a helter skelter
around the castle turret, but this is just the start - soon
Maclinkey Castle is turned into a full-on Fairground Circus with a
big wheel, Bumper Bears, and the show stopping Flying Tigers
starring Esme herself!
Esme is seriously bored of all the work and practice her mother
keeps insisting she does in order to perfect her circus
performance. So when an idea forms in Esme's head of adding some
fun animals to her performance, she knows just who to call ... her
cousins at Maclinkey Castle who have all manner of odd pets. With
little rehearsal Esme and her act perform on the high wire. But
disaster strikes and her co-stars tumble to the ground. Donk won't
wake up and now everyone in town thinks that Circus Miranda is
cruel to animals. What can Esme do to stop the crowds from leaving
the circus? The answer lies in her punishment of being made to run
the lowly sweet treats stand and being banned from performing. With
a little bit of maple syrup, chocolate, caramel and a dash of
teamwork, surely the kids can tempt the crowds back...?
