Molly Brown’s mum is a clown, but Molly longs desperately for normalcy, including ordinary dinners and regular hours, and most of all, her vanished father. Molly’s frenetic search for him draws her Chinese-Canadian friend Trouper into an adventure that leaves readers laughing over the duo’s escapades, appalled at the risks desperate children undertake, and moved by the love that ultimately binds friends and family together.
