Turning the ordinary into something extraordinary
This is the utterly charming story of a sore-fingered seamstress-in-training who is frustrated at her menial position in the circus. But then the ageing Miss Maggie shares some wisdom and our brave little heroine sees that she has the skills to turn the ordinary into something extraordinary. This superbly illustrated book is a gem.

I love everything about this book. It is her second in the series and can't wait for the third book to come out. Lisa is a very talented author.
Cant' wait to see what she writes in the future.
