Review

Marlo and her mom join the circus train. Marlo wants to be part of the circus but doesn't seem to have an act that will be amazing enough for the circus. But when she meets the other Stardust girls, they might just help her discover something that she is amazing at.

This is fun early chapter book. It has nice black and white drawings throughout the book and the story line is just right for a young reader. Readers will identify with Marlo's hopes of being part of the parade and want to read about the different ways she tries to belong.

Overall Book Score: very good
