Over the Garden Wall: Circus Friends signing with Jonathan Case

Books with Pictures 1401 SE Division Street, Portland, OR, United States

It's not all laughs and peanuts for Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice when they stumble upon a circus in the Unknown. What starts as good fun with Greg reciting Wirt's poetry for the circus' audience quickly becomes a dangerous situation when the Ringmaster sets his eyes on Beatrice to be his next star attraction. Wirt and Greg must work together with past-his-prime Strongman Frederico and down-in-the-dumps clown Paola to infiltrate the circus and rescue Beatrice. Join Eisner Award-winning writer Jonathan Case (Before Tomorrowland) for a launch party for the latest installment of the Over the Garden Wall series! Snacks! Drinks! Sketches!
