The purchase of a houseboat for a customer at Mr. Hollister's
sport and toy store, The Trading Post, sends the Hollister family
to Circus Island, the home of the Sunshine Circus, in Florida.
Before they are to leave, however, Pam enters her dog Zip in a
dog show where the theft of two French poodles and an injury to
Zip begin a mystery which has some connection with the
Hollisters' destination in Florida. The five Hollister children
are amazed when they discover the thief at the dog show has
preceded them all along the way to Circus Island. Through clues,
such as a handbill announcing the Wizard Circus and the
disappearance of another dog, they learn the thief's activities
are far more sinister than anyone had at first suspected. Along
with the strange occurrences of the mystery, is the inside story
of a circus. The boys learn a tumbling act, Holly tries her skill
at tightrope walking, and they all find that a clown's smile is
sometime only a happy mask that hides sorrow. An excellent new
Hollister tale, set in a fascinating part of the United States
and concerned with a way of life that's almost like another
world, this book will provide exciting reading.
