The Magnificent Lizzie Brown and the Mysterious Phantom

(4) 4-6 Magnificent Lizzie Brown series. In Victorian London, a twelve-year-old escapes grinding poverty and an abusive father by joining a traveling circus and finding first work, then acceptance and love, and finally a vocation: she becomes the circus fortuneteller. Despite plot contrivances and conversational anachronisms, Lizzie is an appealing heroine and these first two series entries are satisfying. Review covers these Magnificent Lizzie Brown titles: The Magnificent Lizzie Brown and the Devil's Hound and The Magnificent Lizzie Brown and the Mysterious Phantom.
