Amazing book!  Amazing, amazing, amazing!  I literally just finished this book and it was just amazing. 

I love the story.  I was so enthralled by the book my dreams were about the circus.  Course the circus has evolved over the years, and my oh my it has been forever since I have been to one. 

Jacob has lost his family and his home.  Wandering one night he sees a train coming and hitches a ride.  That ride ends up being one of the most exciting times of his life.

In my opinion, you have to read this.  It has murder, an animal stampede, and what seems to be a look behind the scenes of what went on in the circuses of the 1930's.
