(4) YA Twelve-year-old June walks a tightrope as part of her unscrupulous father's revival show. June's faith, though, is more pantheistic than fire and brimstone. Biblical heroes, fairy-tale characters, and sideshow performers all stride through June's narrative. The abrupt happy ending is at odds with the grim Depression-era realities of the rest of the novel.
