Summary

Twelve-year-old Audrey wants nothing more than to be a dance performer and aeriealist, but that feels far from reality in 1944 Hartford, Connecticut. So when she learns the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is coming to town, Audrey is determined to be there under the big top. Audrey convinces her mother to let her take her six-year-old twin sisters with her to the show. But disaster strikes when a fire breaks out under the big top. Can Audrey escape - and find her siblings - before the tent comes crashing down?
