Publisher's summary
Life on Earth can be an adventure, too. You just need to know where to look.

Rani Chandra, the new girl in Bannerman Road, is being haunted by a sinister clown. Local children are going missing. Is there a connection? When Clyde's friend disappears as well, Sarah Jane decides to investigate. The trail leads her to a strange circus museum run by Mr Spellman, and the legend of the pied piper. To foil Spellman's evil plot, Sarah Jane has to confront her own childhood fear of clowns.
