Water For Elephants
By Sara Gruen
It seemed unanimous that we loved Water For Elephants! This was a great story about Jacob Jancowski, a man who suddenly loses both parents in a car accident and leaves his life to join the Benzini Brothers circus. I, personally, learned a lot about the traveling train circuses from the 20's and 30's. We liked Jacob as a character, both as a young man and an old man. This is also a love story, in more ways than one. It is a great piece of historical fiction.
My camera was really low on battery so we barely had time to turn it on and snap a picture...but we do have a picture! We were a small group this time...what did everyone who couldn't make it think? Please post!
