 | The Flimflam Man by Darleen Bailey Beard, Eileen Christelow
It`s a hot July day in 1950 when a stranger named F. Bam Morrison arrives in the small town of Wetumka, Oklahoma. Mr. Morrison claims to be the advance man for Bohn`s United Circus Shows and, in anticipation of the circus`s arrival, he is selling tickets and advertising space in the programs. Ten-year-old Bobbie Jo Hailey quickly falls under the spell of the smooth-talking Mr. Morrison after he adopts one of her dog`s puppies and advises her on solving her stuttering problem. Mr. Morrison`s magical ways even make it possible for Bobbie Jo to become friends with her bitter enemy, Clara Jean Knox. In fact, it seems as if everyone in town has fallen under Mr. Morrison`s spell--except old man Swank, who swears the stranger is nothing more than a con man. This beginning chapter book, illustrated with b&w drawings, is based on a true story. AUTHOR: Darleen Bailey Beard, Eileen Christelow
