Mr. Cannelloni's Circus
Mr. Cannelloni’s circus has been operating for generations—ever since his great-grandfather started it one hundred years ago. But with ticket sales dropping and the circus equipment falling into disrepair, the future of Cannelloni’s Circus looks bleak, especially when a strict special inspector arrives to look things over. Luckily Mr. Cannelloni’s wife, Rosita—once a daring tightrope walker—has some new bold stunts in mind. With the help of a snake woman, a strongman, daredevil horsemen, and other circus performers, Rosita launches “Operation Hannibal.” Will her risky rescue plan be enough to save Mr. Cannelloni’s Circus?

The caravan drove down the driveway and turned onto<br />
the road, which was a long and winding one. As usual,<br />
the Cannellonis led the caravan in their Jeep, followed by<br />
Budo in his long truck, with the horses already stamping<br />
their hooves impatiently. Kasimir was steering the Pommer<br />
Boys’ trailer with his brother Andrei, who was digging<br />
into his bag lunch. Nano hung from the rearview mirror,<br />
munching some nuts.<br />
Last in line, on his scooter, was the former special inspector,<br />
Maximillian Knapp. Sitting behind the man now known as<br />
Max, the circus clown, was the snake woman Cleopatra.<br />
Her long arms were wrapped tightly around his<br />
waist.<br />
Elvira said good-bye with a cheerful honk.<br />
The young calf tried to imitate her mother,<br />
but she could only make a few squeaky sounds.<br />
That was alright. As the grand traditions of the<br />
Cannelloni <strong>Circus</strong> continued, the young elephant<br />
would learn everything that she needed to learn.<br />
