THE HOMESCHOOL CLUB

This is a song about the book, 'Zany Circus: Paradox' by Nanci Nott and Xanthe Turner. This video was made by the very children who inspired the characters in the book. Join the Zany Circus Kids as they navigate a strange new world of magic, history, and science-in-fiction. The song, 'Just Might Be Zany' was recorded at Defy Reality Studios. This song was created (and performed) by Xanthe Turner, Azalia Turner, Zaedyn Turner, Nanci Nott and Aaron Gwynaire. You can buy the book at www.turnerbooks.com.au
