'Smogg is a concrete jungle devoid of plants and animals. The city’s inhabitants live a mundane life and have never even ventured outside of the city walls. However, when Calvin Callioni and his Most Splendidly Spectacular Circus of Starzborough come to visit, Smogg’s citizens soon discover that their leader has been suppressing them. They begin to question what lies beyond the city gates and start to rebel, spurred on by the larger-than-life ringmaster and his merry troupe of circus performers and animals. Will the citizens finally wake from their reverie after all these years?'

1 y separately published work icon Marty and Maggie's Day at the Rodeo Michelle Path , Hannah Purkiss (illustrator), Cardiff : Rowanvale Books , 2017 13915814 2017 single work picture book children's

'Having conquered his fear of horses, Marty is excited to be competing in his first rodeo. He rides his trusty pony Pixie, and takes Maggie along with him. Together they learn new horse skills as they share their experiences.

'With a passion for horses and dressage, Michelle has written this book to show a less serious side of the equine world, which she hopes both horsey and non-horsey people will enjoy. In bringing together two completely different styles of riding and viewpoints, she hopes to emphasise that there is no right or wrong way of riding, and that horses can be enjoyed no matter what they are used for.' (Publication summary)
