Pete the pink poodle is the star of the circus, until a misstep lands him in a less glamorous role. Pete's eventual friendship with crotchety new headliner Fremont, a bear who longs for the woods, might solve both their problems. Narrated by Pete with cocky, pun-laden aplomb, this imaginative novel is as over-the-top as the circus itself.
