The Daring Escape of Beatrice and Peabody by Kimberly Newton Fusco
When Pauline is sent to work for another carnival, Bee is lost. Then a scruffy dog shows up, as unwanted as she, and Bee realizes that she must find a home for them both.
The Daring Escape Of Beatrice And Peabody by Kimberly Newton Fusco (Faber, GBP699), tells the story of Beatrice, an orphan, who works the hot dog stand at a travelling fair and tries to stay unnoticed. With a birthmark covering almost half of her face, it's not always easy to escape unwanted attention, however. With just a scruffy little dog for a friend, there comes a time when Beatrice has to leave the fair, and find a real home for them both. A lovely story with a touch of magic. -- Sarah Kingsford Sunday Express 20130721 Kimberly Newton Fusco's The Daring Escape of Beatrice and Peabody whisks you away to a hot dog stall and travelling fair in America during the war. There is a supernatural element here too, and an awkward attempt to jam local historical figures into a story that is engrossing enough in itself. But this third novel by Newton Fusco is a real keeper. -- Kate Kellaway The Observer 20130728 The reader is completely won over The School Librarian
