The Unrivalled Spangles

219 pp. | Atheneum | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-4169-1503-6 $16.95
(4) YA A series of tragedies help Ellen Spangle discover whether she truly prefers a future as a governess or one as a dazzling bareback rider in the family circus. The nineteenth-century London setting sometimes feels sketched rather than fully painted. The slowly developing romance between Ellen and a member of a rival circus undergirds the otherwise fast-paced and dramatic plot.
