• Rediscovering a “classic”?!?

    13 May 2019

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading teacher Jon Love's review of Cirque Du Freak, though I was surprised at first to see it mentioned as a "classic," as I normally associate that term with much older books that have been around for years and years.

     

    Then I remembered that this coming January will mark the 20th anniversary of the release of Cirque Du Freak, so, yeah, I guess the cap might just about be starting to fit.

     

    I suppose the next stage will be kids moaning about that "rubbish old book that's SO out of date!!"

    Wow. Twenty years! How about we call it a "modern classic"? I would agree; along with Horowitz's Stormbreaker books, Cirque du Freak books are the most popular books in my library over the last fifteen years!
