About this listen

The Amazing Beatrix works as an acrobat in a 19th-century circus, no home or family of which to speak. When a daring escape from her abusive ringleader crosses Beatrix's path with that of the daring adventurer Colonel James Bacchus, the unlikely pair teams up, flies to safety aboard the colonel’s miraculous four-story hot-air balloon, and begins a grand quest to find the most precious gem in the world: the Blue Star Sphinx.

If the heroes can outmaneuver the deadly treasure hunters, escaped convicts, and double-crosses that await them, they may win the treasure they seek or, better yet, a sense of true belonging.

Witty banter, colorful characters, and exotic locations pack this fantastical, globe-trotting adventure that feels like Sherlock Holmes meets Around the World in Eighty Days.
