70)Carlson, Stacy. AMONG THE WONDERFUL. Hanover, NH : Steerforth Press, c2011.
Set against the outlandish arrival of showman P.T. Barnum in 1840s Manhattan, Carlson's bighearted debut follows two employees of Barnum's American Museum-a giantess, Ana Swift, eight feet tall and resigned to being a spectacle, and Emile Guillaudeu, a taxidermist who has worked at the museum since long before Barnum's arrival. As each ventures beyond their comfort zones, they find a larger physical and emotional world waiting to challenge them.
