Seb, however, has no circus skills at all. He can't even turn a somersault. But he does know this: the old-fashioned circus his father founded is out of date and running low on money. If someone doesn't figure out how to save it, the Konstantinovs will be in real trouble. Seb thinks he may have the answer, and it involves attending the highly selective Bonaventure Circus School in Montreal, Canada. Seb secretly writes to the school's Directrice (conveniently leaving out the part about his lack of circus skills), and to his surprise, he gets accepted right away. Now all he has to do is keep his lack of talent a secret. But it turns out that Seb is not the only one with secrets. The school is literally crumbling beneath the students' feet, and the Directrice is counting on Seb's \"talent\" to save it.\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of CCBC’S \u003ci\u003eBest Books for Kids \u0026amp; Teens\u003c\/i\u003e (2017)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRAISE FOR\u003ci\u003e The Bonaventure Adventures:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Bonaventure Adventures\u003c\/i\u003e is likely to be the most fun readers will have in 2017.\" --\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCM Magazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"Heartwarming and hilarious. . . .
