Book Description
What city-weary soul hasn't thought of running away to join the circus? That's the dream of Lor Cole, a young black man leading a lackluster life in early-twentieth-century Connecticut. Lor has talent to match his professional ambition. Tall and agile, he is a superlative high-wire walker, having honed his skills throughout boyhood on the towering branches of neighborhood trees. It's not long before the ringmaster of the Bringlebright Circus turns the young man into a star.
