AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'All John cares about is his blue heeler dog and horses--only he can't get his parents to understand the absolute necessity of owning a high-spirited Arab. When a horse that looks like a refugee from an equine slaughterhouse is given to him, John is thrilled and believes the ungainly gelding is exactly what he's always longed for. With his dog and horse, all that's ahead are exciting and enjoyable adventures together!' (Publication summary)

'Sawdust flying from the hooves of dancing horses, glittering acrobats swinging high up on the trapeze, fanfares and braided jackets: The excitement of the circus turns a miserable winter into a season of surprises for runaway John, his dog Blue, and his horse Roanie. Life in the circus ring is just as eventful as John's own for circus folk are different, wonderful, funny...but sometimes dangerous.' (Publication summary)
