But perhaps the strangest act of Mosco's display is Portia Remini, a normal among the freaks, on the run from McGreavy's Home for Wayward Girls, where Mister watches and waits. He said he would always find Portia, that she could never leave. Free at last, Portia begins a new life on the bally, seeking answers about her father's disappearance. Will she find him before Mister finds her? It's a story for the ages, and like everyone who enters the Wonder Show, Portia will never be the same"-- Provided by publisher.
Note:"A striking historical fiction YA debut about a wayward girl amid the freaks and sideshows of a late 1930s traveling circus"-- Provided by publisher.
