New junior non-fiction story for Stephanie Reeder

March 11, 2018

Congrats to Stephanie Reeder, whose 

Marvellous Miss May, Queen of the Circus

has recently been published by NLA Publishing

in hardback, for ages 7 to adult.

Marvellous Miss May is based on the true story of Australian circus performer May Wirth, who in the early 1900s went from being an abandoned child to performing for kings, queens and presidents. 

This is the fourth book in Stephanie's Heritage Heroes series.

Obviously a fascinating story - congrats again Stephanie!
