Chapter Book Chips - "Henrietta Hornbuckle's Circus of Life" by Michael de Guzman

Have you ever longed to run away and join the circus? Then meet Henrietta Hornbuckle, a girl who was born into a small traveling clown circus. Her parents are both clowns, as are all her friends. She has spent her life growing up and peforming with her parents in Filbert's Traveling Clown Circus. And she loves being a clown more than anything in the world. When the circus begins to run into money problems, Henrietta is adamant that the group stay together and keep performing. But then the very worst kind of sorrow finds Henrietta and her family. Will the circus stay together or will Henrietta have to adjust to a new life that means just staying in one place all the time? Take a peek under the big top and read this sweet story about an unusual young girl who marches to the beat of her own drummer. For grades four and five.-gw-
