After escaping the evil clutches of the innkeeper to whom his drunken father sold him, Will joins up with a magician, a blind juggler, and a troupe of "prodigies and oddities." Readers will connect with affable and quick-witted Will; by the end of this coming-of-age journey, he has a different take on those around him and has found a family and a place in life.
