Zany Circus: Pythagoras Rules

by Nanci Nott, Xanthe Turner (Illustrator)

Overview

Zandee, Tobelia, and Kadin Zany live in a circus, don't go to school, and have a habit of wreaking historical havoc. 

With the help (and hindrance) of the world's lamest math-magician, a high-voltage stalker, two quirky cousins, and a whole lot of moths, the Zany Circus kids must prevent the destruction of the universe, and occasionally remember to feed Random Goat. 

Is Grannie really a vampire? Did Dad eat a sock in a salmon sandwich? Will Pythagoras die in a field of beans?

Yes.

Wait... what happened to history?

About the Author

Nanci Nott likes writing for children almost as much as she loves reading with them. Her own three children are particularly fun to read and write with. Nanci Nott believes in the abolishment of boredom, and the presence of play in education. She loves persuading people to pursue their particular passions, adores alliteration, and stays up way too late.
Xanthe Turner loves drawing so much, she has developed callouses on her drawing hand, and is rarely seen without a sketchbook. Her natural habitat is a novel-filled bedroom. In addition to illustrating (and publishing) books, Xanthe enjoys creating comics, fan art, sculptures, cosplay, and paintings. Xanthe plays guitar and piano (not at the same time) and her life goal is to befriend a sentient robot. ​
