Reach for this book when your child feels weighed down by the rigid expectations of school or home and needs a reminder that joy and silliness are essential parts of life. Delphinium spends her days on a strictly ordered space station where every minute is scheduled, until a chance encounter with a traveling space circus changes everything. As she joins a ragtag group of performers to save the galaxy from the fun-hating Vyle family, she discovers that imagination is more than just a hobby: it is a powerful tool for resistance and self-discovery. This whimsical adventure is perfect for readers aged 8 to 12 who appreciate absurdist humor and stories about finding one's tribe. Margaret Mahy's rich prose helps build sophisticated vocabulary while delivering a heartfelt message about the necessity of creativity in a grey world.
