4.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful book, July 10, 2000
By 
Jocelyn and Aroleon Grunow (Pascoe Vale, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Circus Is Coming (Hardcover)
Like many of Noel Streatfeild's books, this places ordinary children in an exciting context and shows the hard work behind the glamour. In this case a brother and sister, Peter and Sasha, adjust to a very different life as they go to live with their uncle, Gus, a clown in a circus. The story is set in England in the time between the two world wars and is a fascinating glimpse into a vanished way of life, but the people and their problems are very contemporary. Peter and Sasha grow through their experiences and we grow with them. Noel Streatfeild's books always emphasise that we have the resources to meet the challenges life throws at us, if we are prepared to work hard and to use our intelligence and common sense. I recommend this as one of her best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Streatfeild development, January 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Circus Is Coming (Paperback)
Good character development and different from her "shoe books". However, it does involve children who are in need of care. I enjoy all Streatfeild's books, some more than others. Here I picked up some circus knowledge. I see her personality in at least one character in all her stories.
