Praise

“A solid work ethic and good manners prove tickets to happiness in this genial tale of a boy who joins the circus.” —Booklist

“Freddie is a highly lovable character who demonstrates compassion, courage, and grit. His story is wonderfully complemented by Hindley’s cartoonish illustrations that grace nearly every page. Fast-paced and engaging . . . sure to delight. —School Library Journal 

“Cozy Britishisms and the curly black-and-white line art reinforce the story’s ‘once upon a time’ feel. Possessing an earnest ridiculousness similar to that of a Dahl story, Freddie’s adventure should appeal to a similar audience.” –Kirkus Reviews
