They're summering in nearby Bluffton, so Henry has a few months to ogle the elephant and the zebra, the tightrope walkers, and -- best of all -- a slapstick actor his own age named Buster Keaton. Henry longs to learn to take a fall like Buster, \"the human mop,\" but Buster just wants to play ball with Henry and his friends. With his signature nostalgic touch, Scott O'Dell Award-winning graphic novelist Matt Phelan illuminates a bygone era with lustrous color, dynamic lines, and flawless dramatic pacing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatt Phelan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author-illustrator of the award-winning graphic novels \u003ci\u003eThe Storm in the Barn\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAround the World\u003c\/i\u003e.
