The Circus Train by Amita Parikh
5.0

Don’t let the name of this book fool you as the Circus Train is just a small part of this great Historical Fiction book. The book takes place in the WW II timeframe and tells the story of an Illusionist’s daughter who was born with Polio. She meets a Jewish stowaway on the Circus Train and the story unfolds. It was a wonderful set of characters and themes of persevering through difficult times. I really enjoyed this book even though it dragged a tad through the middle. 5/5
