Summary:
Cuando el Circo de las Maravillas de Jasper Júpiter monta su tienda en un pueblo costero pobre, la vida de una joven cambia para siempre. Vendida al maestro de ceremonias como una "niña leopardo" debido a las marcas de nacimiento que cubren su cuerpo, Nell está completamente devastada. Pero a medida que se acerca a los otros artistas, se encuentra encantada por la brillante libertad del circo y por su propio papel como la Reina de la Luna y las Estrellas. En poco tiempo, la fama de Nell se extiende por todo el mundo y, con ella, una oportunidad para Jasper Júpiter de hacer crecer su propio nombre y fortuna. Pero, ¿qué sucede cuando la fama de ella comienza a eclipsar la de él, cuando incluso el leal hermano de Jasper, Toby, queda cautivado por Nell? Ya no es la recolectora de flores tranquila, Nell conoce su propio lugar en el mundo y luchará por él.
When Jasper Jupiter's Circus of Wonders pitches its tent in a poor coastal town, the life of one young girl changes forever. Sold to the ringmaster as a "leopard girl" because of the birthmarks that cover her body, Nell is utterly devastated. But as she grows close to the other performers, she finds herself enchanted by the glittering freedom of the circus, and by her own role as the Queen of the Moon and Stars. Before long, Nell's fame spreads across the world--and with it, a chance for Jasper Jupiter to grow his own name and fortune. But what happens when her fame begins to eclipse his own, when even Jasper's loyal brother Toby becomes captivated by Nell? No longer the quiet flower-picker, Nell knows her own place in the world, and she will fight for it.
