If you’ve ever thought “I wish I could run away and join the circus,” “The Flying Ems” is a book you will want to read. Ten-year-old triplets Emiliana, Emily and Emma Astraukas are bored, bored, BORED living with their parents, whose lives are utterly predictable and safe. In fact, they are so predictable, boring and safe, they always eat the same rotation of meals each week and will not consider taking their daughters to the circus.
The triplets decide to take matters into their own hands, and run away to join Sir Surly’s Surprising Sirkus, in which their great-aunt Gabija is a part of. They are set to work helping to move the circus to another town and get assigned to an act: being the targets of the knife thrower, Silent Cal. After a few shows of ever-increasing danger, they decide to join the circus of Sir Surly’s competition and brother, Bo-Twenty, where they learn to be trapeze artists and acrobats. But what starts out as a promising possibility leads to disappointment and a thrilling competition between the two circuses, featuring the Flying Ems.
