About this audiobook
Step into the dazzling, dangerous world beneath the big top, where every performance could be a matter of life or death. A young runaway finds a makeshift family among acrobats, clowns, and roaring beasts, but the grueling reality of constant travel quickly tests his resolve. Rivalries behind the curtain and the constant threat of accidents keep the stakes incredibly high. Will his courage hold up when the spotlights blind him to the hidden perils of the ring? Discover a classic tale of daring dreams and the harsh grit required to survive the nomadic life.
