When Spartacus Ryan “Poop Lip” Zander finds his house destroyed and his wacko, Human Cannonball mother missing, it’s obvious that she’s been kidnapped by Bartholomew’s World-Renowned Circus of the Incredible. But when his dad and brother refuse to believe it—because they’re morons, obviously—it’s up to Spartacus to be the hero.
With the Internet-wizardry of his best friend and clues from his mom’s postcards, Spartacus sets out on a zany, west coast rescue mission. But as the stories about the circus get stranger (and Spart’s enemies get weirder), he realizes the only way to bring his family back together is to bring the big top down, once and for all.

It was
a fun, original, engaging read. I really did enjoy Ryan's sense of hurmour or sense of
how he views everything around him. He believes he has to save his mom and
nothing will stop him. He is passionate and brave. Anything for his mom.
The plot
is very adventurous kind of plot. The writing style was amazing. I mean, even
though Ryan is 13 years old, he could be very relatable to many of us. You will end up finding yourself: nodding, frowning, laughing, etc.
The book
had deep meanings floating everywhere; it was up to the reader to find it.
Many would
say that it is a middle grade book which it is but I would also recommend it to
teens as while. Its just that good.
