One of the advantages of flying internationally is the ability to pick up books and authors one does not normally see in the States. Christina Jones is definately a worthwhile find. Her books, although they can be read independently, also have several interconnected characters. If given the option, read Going the Distance, Running the Risk, and then Jumping to Conclusions. Walking on Air and Stealing the Show are pretty-much stand-alone. In all, Christina Jones gives you likeable, real (but not silly) characters who are truly trying to make something of their lives. In addition, you get some British flavor (yes, some things are different than in the good ol' USA). Stealing the Show is the story of a family run travelling circus trying to make it in modern day UK. One is fascinated by both the lifestyle while Christina gives you a plot which discusses the challenges of a small family run business with family members who do not all hold the same dream (don't worry, this is not a depressing book). This is definatly a worth-while and enjoyable read.

Great plot, terrific characters. Can't wait to hear more about them. I've loved Going The Distanec, Running The Risk and Jumping To Conclusions - Stealing the Show was unputdownable!

Walking On Air (the next christina jones book) published 2nd May is also fantastic, with another great cast of characters who make you alternately laugh and cry. I had to sit up all night to read this one, too, and she just cannot write them fast enough for me! Read it - and make some new friends.
