But Will is no good at circus tricks, and Jesse tells him he'd be better off with a new family out West: "I'm giving you a better life, Will."<br><br><br><br>Will is placed with the kindly Dr. and Mrs. Wallace.

And then one night, Jesse's circus comes to town....<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
