The Show Must Go On! by Kate Klise
In their trademark style, author Kate Klise and illustrator M. Sarah Klise blend a story bursting with jokes, puns, and wordplay with illustrations, signs, letters, recipes, and bold graphics to introduce Three-Ring Rascals.
When Sir Sidney, a kindly old circus owner, becomes too tired to travel with his show, he places a Help Wanted ad in the newspaper. Enter Barnabas Brambles: "I have a degree in lion taming from the University of Piccadilly Circus." But does Leo the lion need taming? Will Elsa the elephant still get her gourmet peanuts? And what will Brambles say when he discovers Bert and Gert--two mice who travel with the circus on popcorn cleanup patrol?
Brambles has big plans: More cities! More shows! No more free popcorn. Soon he's made a big mess of Sir Sidney's Circus, but Leo, Elsa, Bert, Gert, and the rest of the performers agree: The Show Must Go On!
Black and white line drawings throughout.
Deliver Us From Normal came about because Kate wanted to write a more serious novel about a big, beautifully chaotic family. The older I get, the more I appreciate the idea of being thrown together with a group of people you might have a lot in common with, or nothing at all, she says. You don't have the option of doing anything other than making your family relationships workforever. I like that. I like that there's no love as fierce as the love you feel for your family; that there's no one you feel more protective of than the very same people who can drive you crazy.
Kate chose a male narrator because she felt it freed her to be more emotionally honest. Writing from Charles's point-of-view made it clear from the beginning that while this is a very personal story, it isn't only my story, she says. I hope it touches on something more universal: the idea of growing up and finding your own personal truth in the world.
In addition to writing books for young readers, Kate also works as a correspondent for People magazine. Her recent assignments have included stories about Brad Pitt, Nelly, and the BTK serial killer in Wichita.
Kate Klise lives and writes on her 40-acre farm in a valley just north of Norwood, Missouri.
