–High School/Middle School–
Abel Dandy’s mom has no arms, his dad has no legs. His friends are freaks of all kinds. His first kiss is Phoebe the Dog-Faced Girl. Unfortunately Abel is perfectly normal and he feels like he has no future so he runs away “from” the circus in search of a mysterious dancing girl who haunts his dreams. Something mysteriously draws him to a truly shabby traveling freak show run by the sinister Dr. Mink.
Look for both adventure and romance in this unusual book from one of my favorite authors, Annette Curtis Klause. She’s written about vampires in The Silver Kiss, werewolves in Blood and Chocolate, now it’s a mysterious and persuasive mummy.
