James Otis has written a delightful story of circus life for grades 4 to 7. Children will delight in this fantasy about running away with a circus.

In between, he makes many good friends, including the Living Skeleton and Mr. Stubbs, the monkey.

I read this when I was very young - grade 5? I loved it. I recently found an old copy of it and will reread it soon or read it to my daughters. Nothing like the Walt Disney version.
