I was excited about this book, based on the cover and the back blurb which seemed to promise a different take on the sideshow story we normally see. But... eh, what we got was an unchallenging and needlessly easy book which left me feeling like the actual story had never really started. Abel Dandy...
Abel Dandy is the only normal person at Faeryland. He doesn't seem to have one odd thing about him - and although he has grown up around these people, he suddenly doesn't feel like he belongs.Abel decides it's time for him to leave and find his fortune. But the world outside Faeryland is quite tough...
Fun romp through 19th-century US via a circus boy who wants to be normal and then finds normal isn't all it's cracked up to be. Distinguished by energy, compassion, and some mild but unusual attention to race.
