Customer Reviews

*Excellent*

Touch of the Clown was certainly a touching story...it wasn't suspenseful, but for some reason I still couldn't put it down. I couldn't get enough of Barbara and Livvy's charming clown friend Cosmo...I think that adults would enjoy this book just as much as teenagers. This book is thoughtfully written, creative and touching all at the same time. A definate "YES! " for all future readers!
