The age-old love of carnivals is still alive today. Each year the fair comes to towns all across the country with rides, games and food. This story is about a young woman and her mother who inherit a traveling carnival just after World War II. The daughter is excited but the mother just wants to get the placed cleaned up and attract more respectable acts so that she will be able to provide a future for her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>It is a light-hearted tale with some elements of danger and intrigue. Again, this story would make a great edition to your child&#8217;s reading list. Excellently written and well-told tale. <\/p>\n<p>Recently republished and now available in eBook, paperback and hardback editions!
