Clown Magic

by Margaret Beames

Jenny is an orphan who lives with her cousins.

On a Christmas shopping expedition to town she sees a clown who looks very like a toy clown in Mr Jolley's toyshop.

Strange...but when Jenny runs away after her cousins have been unkind, the clown makes sure there is a happy ending.

A delightful contemporary tale with a touch of magic that 7-10 year olds will love.
