Darla's Reviews > Circus Shoes

I'm working my way through this series in order --love to be linear. This installment returns to the theme of orphans. Peter and Santa first lose their parents, then the aunt who was their guardian. Rather than be sent to separate orphanages, they run away to find their Uncle Gus and the circus he is a part of. They are clueless about life with the circus and spend most of the book working through that learning curve. I did love living the circus life vicariously with them, but found all the circus children difficult to keep straight. All in all, a sweet old-fashioned tale that makes me want to find a circus to watch.
