The magnificent Lizzie Brown

In nineteenth-century London Lizzie Brown wants nothing more than to escape from the slums and her drunk, abusive father, so finding work and friends in a passing circus seems like a dream come true--but when she starts to have visions she finds herself confronting the mysterious phantom of London.

Fitzy's Circus is invited to perform at Whitby by the Maharaja Duleep Singh, but they find the locals nervous and unfriendly, worried by the ghost ship that is apparently haunting the harbor of the small seaside town, and when a valuable necklace goes missing, the circus performers are immediately suspected, so it is up to Lizzie to use her psychic abilities to discover the true criminals.

Traveling to the green hills of Scotland, Lizzie investigates the disappearance of a wealthy orphan who went missing amid rumors that she aspired to join the circus or was spirited away by fairies.
