About this book
Circus posters set the village of Briggsville, Pennsylvania, buzzing, and schoolboy Tom Gordon longs to see the show. A sudden illness spoils his plans. Soon afterward, his friend Jim Travers arrives with an extravagant account of an escaped tiger, bringing danger to Tom's own doorstep. Edward Sylvester Ellis places this adventure against the modest household Tom shares with his widowed mother and Aunt Cynthia, and the school where he earns affection through honesty, energy and good temper.
The story later follows Jim to the waterfront, where a stranger's promise of well-paid work aboard a coastal schooner becomes a trap. These scenes join sudden peril with the everyday concerns of growing up and earning a living.
