Cirque Du Freak (The Saga of Darren Shan, Book 1)
by Darren Shan
€ 9.99
ISBN: 9780008660659
A brand new 25th anniversary edition of the international bestselling phenomenon!
Darren is just your average schoolboy - or was, at least - until he and his friend Steve buy tickets to the outlawed, magical and macabre Cirque Du Freak. Packed with wonderfully grotesque characters - including a snake-boy, a wolf-man and, most exciting of all, an enormous performing spider - the boys are enchanted, fascinated and yet terrified by the show.
Darren, a total spider freak, decides to steal and train Madam Octa - an enormous tarantala owned by Mr Crepsley, so that he can train it to perform amazing deeds. But his daring theft goes horribly wrong, and soon Darren is caught up in a web of terror from which he cannot escape - and finds himself forced to make a terrible bargain with a creature of the night...
Atmospheric, funny, realistic, moving and terrifying, Cirque du Freak has been thrilling readers for twenty five years, and is now available in this stunning anniversary edition.
