As a Year 5/6 primary school teacher, I am always conscious of children reading age appropriate books. Too often the more able readers appear in school with books which they can read but whose content is too adult for them. ''Ned's Circus of Marvels'' provides an age appropriate developed story which at 427 pages is a weighty book for children. If anything, I think the book is more suitable for 10 years and up rather than the specified age of 9. Some of the ideas could be difficult to keep up with for the slightly younger reader and some of the language choices would require a well-read child to read it. However, I will be encouraging all of my class to read it.
For further reading, I would recommend the amazing [[The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick]] which also fuses magic and mystery. In addition, I would like to mention that the second book of Ned's adventures is being released in December 2016 with a third book due in 2017.  {{toptentext|list=Top Ten Books for Confident Readers 2016}}
