I thought the story itself wasn't very exciting and it kept on saying "this is an exciting chapter" but then it wouldn't be and there was page after page of not very exciting writing.

The characters in the story are Gran, Hannah, Billy, Armitage Shanks, and the rest are not in the story very much. Most of the characters had adventurous spirits and personalities. For example, Hannah, the lead character, can make herself cry when hearing not-very-sad-tales. She was brave and not afraid to face up to Armitage to make sure that Billy, her friend in the circus, had a better life. Armitage had made Billy into a thief, by forcing him to steal, and Hannah put a stop to this.

I enjoyed the part of the story when Armitage got a taste of his own medicine. One night in the circus, Hannah revealed a lorry which had all the stolen things from the audience in it to them. Then Hannah's Grandma went up to Armitage and said: 'You rotten thief, next time I see you, you will face your dooooom!' I was happy that Armitage was uncovered as a thief and a liar.

I like books with a lot of detail in the characters and settings in mysterious places. This book did not have very much detail of the character's lives and activities. The setting wasn't described much, so I couldn't picture the image of the setting (which was in a small town).

The book could have had more detail in the descriptions, and developed the characters more. My rating would be 3 out of 10.
