About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing that being 'different' or preferring solitude can be its own kind of magic. It is a perfect choice for the dreamer who loves the outdoors and the secret thrill of a late-night adventure. Through the eyes of young Mac, we meet a whimsical version of Emily Dickinson who invites her neighborhood friends on a moonlit quest to see a passing circus train. This gentle historical fiction explores themes of imaginative play, the bond between generations, and the beauty of unconventional friendships. It is ideally suited for children ages 7 to 10 who are transitioning to longer chapter books but still crave a sense of wonder. Parents will appreciate the lyrical prose and the way it introduces a literary icon as a relatable, playful mentor rather than a distant historical figure.
