"On the morning of the fine spring day, full of sunshine, that ended with my arrest in Gaza, I woke early from an uneven sleep, dressed, and pushed back to its proper place the desk meant to barricade the door of my hotel room."

so-soTruly and honestly picked for the gorgeous cover and topic of the circus, “TFCOMS” was overall not bad. Hough develops a strong voice in Stark, but the novel largely turns into episodes of her marriages with men we barely get to know, and an extremely limited cast of interesting side characters. The fact that Hough ends this book with a BJ is crazy work. Worth the read if you like reading circus fiction. No “Water for Elephants” for sure!

I think this book could be used in the classroom to teach about creativity and realizing the little moments in life and how everything is a part of your own personal journey
so-sothis story talks about a hot dog who talks about his journey of exciting encounters. It talks about the themes of friendship and the joys of having adventures. The hot dog meets many characters along his journey and teaches the idea of stepping outside your comfort zone.
Great book for demonstrating what it means to be a good friend and would be great for younger grades.
