About the Author:
MICHAEL de GUZMAN is a former screenwriter and has published four previous novels for middle-grade readers. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4–6—Henrietta Hornbuckle, 12, lives, works, and breathes the circus. With her parents MoMo and Hortense and her extended family, she travels with Filbert's Traveling Clown Circus, a small company that often has to improvise to get the show on the road. Henrietta is a bold, quick thinker who is extremely loyal and proud of her background and way of life. When her father is killed in a hit-and-run accident, she is made to think about life outside her comfort zone of clowns, striped outfits, and pie throwing. The peripheral characters are a supportive family of misfits who join together as one when the need arises. This is a sweet story that doesn't end as readers might imagine.—Alison Donnelly, Collinsville Memorial Public Library, IL
