Selling Hope

(3) 4-6 The protagonist and her father are traveling vaudeville performers in 1910. Hope has had enough of the circuit, though, and wants to go home to Chicago. With Halley's Comet on the horizon, she and her friend--young Buster Keaton--hatch a scheme to sell "anti-comet pills" to the panicked public. The well-paced and entertaining narrative has an authentic historical feel.
