Resumen del Editor

Kids have been picking on 14-year-old Harold ever since he can remember. They stare at him and call him "maggot" or "ghost boy" because he's an albino. Even his mother seems angry and withdrawn when he's around.

One day the circus comes to town, and Harold runs away to join it. When Fossil Man and Princess Minikin accept him into their family, he feels that he has at long last come home. As he gains the respect of the circus owner and the beautiful trick horseback rider, Harold suddenly finds himself straddling the line between the normal people and the "freaks." If only he could figure out the omniscient Gypsy Magda's warning about the high price of being "normal".

Iain Lawrence builds an insightful metaphor with this story of a teenager facing his fear of being an outsider. Narrator George Guidall is the perfect guide for readers as they join Harold on his poignant journey toward self-discovery and acceptance.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The setting is wonderfully realized and captures the magic of the big top and the decidedly different world behind the scenes. This touching novel will speak especially to readers who consider themselves different, flawed, or misunderstood." ( School Library Journal)

This is a wonderful story

This is one of my favorite books, I'm so glad that it is on audible. It is a great story, told in a clear and simple way, with colorful characters and a great deal of memorable moments. It's a coming of age story with so many ideas to mull over for yourself as you listen. It's also pretty gut wrenching, I cry a lot towards the end.
In short it's wonderful and the narrator George is one of the best I've ever listened to on multiple titles.

I loved this book even though it made me cry. I will buy a physical book and keep it forever.
