The Blue Moon Circus: A Novel
Michael Raleigh
For the boy, it was the first real chance for a future. For the man, it was one last chance to triumph over his past. Opportunities like these happen only once in a Blue Moon.
An absolute charmer. -Library Journal Starred Review
Simply put, this is a ripsnorting good historical yarn full of circus lore, so smartly told by an expert storyteller that it’s the kind of book truly deserving that overused term ‘page-turner.’ -Chicago Sun-Times
With no safety net, Raleigh takes a spectacular highwire route…making it all look easy in this captivating tale of a decent man in a very hard world. Beguiling, wise and wonderful. -Kirkus Reviews Starred Review
A heartwarming, often humorous story filled with interesting circus lore as well as deeper themes about the value of human connection, especially as life winds down. -Booklist
Rollicking, warmhearted…As dramatic and engaging as a high-wire act, the novel combines honest story-telling with down-home wit. There’s plenty of smartly written, feel-good fun under this big top. -Publishers Weekly
