But disgraced doctor Pierre "Maneater" Monetre's traveling show is no ordinary entertainment, and its performers are not what they appear to be. There, among the fortune tellers, fire-eaters, sideshow freaks, and assorted "strange people," Horty hopes to find acceptance and, at long last, a real home.
Tormented and abused by his adoptive family, he's had enough-and with a beloved broken toy he calls "Junky" as his sole companion, the desperate little boy runs away to join a carnival. Though only eight years old, little Horton "Horty" Bluett has known a lifetime of sadness.
A desperate boy escapes his abusive home by joining a carnival and is drawn into a dark conspiracy in this tale by "a master storyteller" (Kurt Vonnegut).
