Definitely superior in style to most of what's on offer at Lulu. I found it through a search for children's books- LOL!- I don't think so!

What is it like to travel with the circus? Clearly its not a easy life, but this quasi-autobiographical book provides a intimate look at the life of a circus clown. Mary is a rare 'girl clown' and we follow along as she embarks on a new career in the circus. She learns about the hardships of a nomadic life and hard work, but also finds great satisfaction in performing under the big top. Well written and easy to read, this story if full of terrific details about the life of a circus performer. This is a terrific first novel, highly recommended.

Girl Clown should be placed at the top of everyone's reading list. Ms. Wise writes in a down to earth style that is extremely refreshing. What a marvelous read.
