Running away to join the circus may have been the dream of many a small boy, but it some cases, it proved to be a deadly choice. In this fourth installment in this entertaining series, Hilda is pulled in several directions. She must be very good at her job as a maid, if she wishes to keep on working at the Studebaker mansion. Though her mother and siblings have all been reunited in South Bend, the cozy, united family they were in Sweden has not been replicated in the United States. Her family doesn’t approve of her relationship with Patrick, her boyfriend. Her youngest brother, Eric, is not happy with his life in the city. Then a friend of Eric’s runs away to join the circus and is found abused and beaten. When Eric sees something he shouldn’t have, he, too, runs away. It’s up to Hilda to figure things out, and bring comport to her family, if, indeed that is even possible in their new lives. Author Jeanne M. Dams has written a thought-provoking story of historical interest, illustrating the difficulties immigrants had adapting to new lives that could be especially cruel to children.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Hilda Johansson (4)
Hilda Johansson had thought things would improve once her entire family had moved to the United States. Of course, she'd known that her mother and older brother wouldn't be happy about her choice of beau, Irish Catholic Patrick Cavanaugh, but she's certain that if they'll just allow themselves to get to know him, they'll realize he is a wonderful man. Although her own life and her position in the Studebaker household is secure, Hilda is troubled by her twelve-year-old brother, Eric. He hates city life and is increasingly restless under the thumb of their overly protective mother. Then Eric's friend, who had run away to join the circus, is found dead. The news is shocking, and the idea that Eric might know more than he is saying is frightening. When Patrick and Hilda take Eric to the circus, they discover just how much more he does know, and that his silence may be the only thing that can save his life.
