It's a Night Circus

‘The Night Circus’ by Erin Morgenstern, a magical tale that delivers

“The circus arrives without warning. . . It is simply there when yesterday it was not.” It’s a mystical Victorian circus and as it travels its fame grows. The appeal is to all ages, and a group of fans form with mysterious ways to predict where the circus may appear next. Open only from sunset to sunrise, the night hours are filled with magic, caramel popcorn, chocolate mice, tents with acts to astound you, a blazing bonfire, the most intricate grandfather clock ever, an intense competition to the death, and an eternal love. This may seem like more than a circus can offer, but “The Night Circus” is a novel that delivers all that.

Two magicians, too young to know what is happening, are tricked into a mortal competition . . . . . Link to my recommendation
