Her great-aunt Ada has died and a committee of relatives is bent on vulturing Ephemia's education trust fund for themselves. Twelve-year-old Effy's only hope is to locate and dazzle her long lost poppa before time runs out. But Phineas Rimaldi, the ringmaster of a traveling circus, seems an unlikely ally. Set on the eve of the 20th century, when female performers were one of the earliest groups to demand equal pay for equal work, this is an historical adventure about the suffragist movement and a feisty heroine who champions equality for all."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Preteen girls $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Suffragists $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Circus performers $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Circus $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Sex role $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen hundreds (Decade) $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Canada $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Girls $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Suffragists $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Fathers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Circus performers $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Circus $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Sex role $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Nineteen hundreds (Decade) $v Fiction. 651 1 $a Canada $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Novels. 655 0 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010601.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9AEEABFA091211EFA2C9076631ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
