Description
Puloma must summon all of her strength and courage to rescue a captive bear from the circus in this gripping adventure from award-winning author Jasbinder Bilan.
Unwanted and lonely living with her unkind aunt, Puloma ends up running away with the circus. Relieved to have found work and a place to live, Puloma can't understand why the other circus workers are worried about the police finding them.
The reason for their fears is the circus's star act - a dancing sloth bear called Nyla. This form of cruelty is now illegal in India, and when Puloma sees Nyla being mistreated, she decides to try to help her escape ...
