Inzared-Queen of the Elephant Riders by L. Leander is a story almost every child who has been under the Big Top has dreamed of- running away to join the circus.A young girl from the mountains has bigger dreams than living the hard, desperate life of a farmer's wife. She wants to see the world.While attending her first circus she meets Paytre, a young handsome gypsy man who invites her to run away and ride an elephant in the Romanoff Brothers Circus. She leaves that night and never looks back.L. Leander's story took me to the sights, sounds and aromas of life in a traveling circus. Bertha- Inzared- quickly learns to love the animals, the people and especially Paytre. Cecil, the elephant, bonds with Inzared and a lasting love comes to the beautiful elephant rider.I found the circus life filled with intrigue, joy and danger. A beautifully written tale by the author.This is a story you don't want to miss! From the perfect cover to the last sentence I was held spellbound.
