다리가불편한메간은ricketball선수를꿈꿔왔다.다양한동물들을타고골을내어점수를얻는ricketball경기는늘자신을들뜨게하였다.반면넵삼촌은몸이불편한메간이경기를하지못하도록막았고,그무렵메간은의문의신비한사람,로드파블로브를만나게된다.파블로브는메간을서커스안의훈련장으로초대한다.메간은파블로브의능력과훈련된호랑이에게매력을느끼고그를따르기로결심하는데….그곳에서메간은고문에가까운육체적훈련과정신적고통을경험한다.그리고자신이납치되어다른동물들과같이서커스연기자가된것을깨닫는다.이절망적인상황을메간은어떻게헤쳐나가며,자신의꿈을이룰수있을까?

꿋꿋한의지와모험심으로어려운현실을극복하며꿈을이루어가는주인공을통해자신의삶을돌아보게되는거울같은소설.과도한입시경쟁으로내몰리는교육현실과꿈사이에서갈등하고고군분투하는우리청소년들이주인공메간을통해포기하지않는에너지를얻을수있다.탄탄한스토리전개와심리묘사,영미문학에도전하는청소년작가의실험정신이돋보이는완성도높은작품이다.
