Book excerpt: Sixteen year-old Dante Delgado is staring down the barrel of a gangbanger's gun when he's surprised by the arrival of a clown on a unicycle. Dante hates clowns. He hates everything to do with the circus. He once dreamed of being one of the few trapecistas able to do a quadruple somersault in the air. Then a tragic accident took his parents, their circus, and his ability to fly. When faced with the choice between the circus or a bullet, he jumps on the clown's shoulders and rides off to the tiny but magical Mumbo Jumbo Circus. In a bid to crush its rival, the evil Cirque Patron offers Dante a wild chance to fly again. Dante is tempted, even though living his dream will cost him great physical pain. But if he follows his dream, he'll betray his friends and the one man who tried to help him, the Ringmaster of The Mumbo Jumbo Circus. In order to reach a decision, Dante must literally chase down the ghosts of his past before Dia De Los Muertos.
