Violette Around the World 2

Join in the adventures of 12-year-old Violette as she travels the world as part of a circus, learning to appreciate the joys of being different.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Circus of the Moon as it crosses the Atlantic to perform in the "New World"! Your guide? Clever Violette Vermeer, daughter of the stuntwoman and the insect trainer. This little girl with a big heart meets two people when she arrives in America--Hiawatha, a young Native American girl, and the famous composer Antonin Dvoràk. These two new friends will help her achieve a long-held dream in this second volume of Violette's adventures around the world!
