"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
The new book is the story of Francia Abbot Maccomb and her daughter, Capri, who inherited a carnival at the death of Francia's brother.
The troubles they encountered at the hands of the manager, a shady character who hoped by discouraging the pair to get control of the traveling band, their efforts to clean up gambling tents and replace them with legitimate entertainment is only part of the story.
The characterization of circus performers, mechanics and roustabouts is well done and the romantic interlude that appeals to the teen ager reader is gracefully and tactfully accomplished. Mrs. Butters seems to have a real knowledge of carnival jargon, troupers and practices and even explains some of the tricks of the trade. If you've always wanted to know how a woman is sawed in half, you can find the answer in 'Carnival Gypsy'."

This story was the very first book published by Dorothy Gilman Butters. We are re-releasing it in hopes of another generation of readers will enjoy this engaging tale. After all, who hasn't thought about jumping into a converted camper and have an adventure or three?
A tale of five lonely people who are thrown together by fate to live and work together as they travel around the country for the summer. There is a hapless father reuniting with his teenage daughter, a beauty queen trying to decide if she wants to settle down and marry, a teenage boy who just wants to get out of an abusive foster family situation and an artist who would like to 'live' a little. They encounter troubles to overcome, figure out different ways to keep the bus going and each other fed. They go from complete strangers to creating a family of their own."
