Synopsis

The Quirks are a rather special family with rather magical powers and, sometimes, when the Quirks are involved, things don't quite go to plan!

Just as the Quirks are settling in to Normal, the circus comes to town! At school, Molly, Penelope and Finn are all learning how to juggle, tightrope walk and fly the trapeze! Meanwhile, at home they are putting similar skills to good use . . . It takes fancy footwork to keep their nosy neighbour, Mrs DeVille, from snooping around and uncovering the Quirk family secrets - not to mention their family's pet monster, Nibblet! One thing's for sure: life in Normal is a high-flying adventure!
