Showstopper

Several of my friends have sung the praises of this book and they were all correct in doing so. This is a fantastic read! I found it to be a sort of light-summery read, but it retains some moving parts, allows one to feel connected to the protagonist, and once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it back down. The author's real feat is making a modern audience care about a circus story set during the depression--this she accomplishes with flair. Read it, I know you'll love it.
