Bam Morrison, and the first to fall for his tall tale of an amazing traveling circus."-The Horn Book Publisher Description On a scorching July day in 1950, a fabulous fat man drives into Wetumka, Oklahoma.

When Bobbie Jo realizes her mistake, Morrison is on his way out of town, leaving her disappointed but intact--and greatly enriched by her relationship with the flimflam man.
