Allen Walker continues the tale of his past as an orphan child working in a circus. He was called Redarm then and knew little but misery in that life. He did, however, befriend one of the clowns, Campbell, and his dog, Allen. Another clown, Cosmo, hated both Campbell and Redarm and performed a dispicable act in order to torment them. Meanwhile, Allen's future master, Cross Marion, was finally reaching the end of a long hunt for a most elusive quarry."--Publisher description.Rated T+ for older teen.

The science of storytelling : why stories make us human and how to tell them better / by Storr, Will,author.(CARDINAL)485028;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Creating a world -- The flawed self -- The dramatic question -- Plots, endings, and meaning -- Appendix: the sacred flaw approach.Who would we be without stories? Stories mold who we are, from our character to our cultural identity. They drive us to act out our dreams and ambitions, and shape our politics and beliefs. We use them to construct our relationships, to keep order in our law courts, to interpret events in our newspapers and social media. Storytelling is an essential part of what makes us human. There have been many attempts to understand what makes a good story from Joseph Campbell's well-worn theories about myth and archetype to recent attempts to crack the 'Bestseller Code'. But few have used a scientific approach. This is curious, for if we are to truly understand storytelling in its grandest sense, we must first come to understand the ultimate storyteller the human brain. In this scalpel-sharp, thought-provoking book, Will Storr demonstrates how master storytellers manipulate and compel us, leading us on a journey from the Hebrew scriptures to Mr Men, from Booker Prize-winning literature to box set TV. Applying dazzling psychological research and cutting-edge neuroscience to the foundations of our myths and archetypes, he shows how we can use these tools to tell better stories - and make sense of our chaotic modern world.
