Twelve-year-old Henrietta loves being a clown like her five-foot-nine-inch mother and little-person father; she never wants to leave the circus, her extended family. Then a tragic turn of events forces her--and everyone else--to make choices. Filled with intriguing details about traveling-circus life, this is a colorful look at an unconventional family, starring the plucky and appealing Henrietta.
