The Corner House Girls Among the Gypsies

A lively summer day finds the Corner House girls—Dot, Tess, and their friends—caught between school, a makeshift circus ring, and the arrival of a colorful Romani caravan. Their world is a blend of backyard theatrics, clumsy clown antics, and the restless energy of kids who love to perform, especially when Sammy Pinkney bursts onto the scene with a dramatic “joey” entrance that promises chaos and laughter.

When two striking Gypsy women appear at the garage, their bright baskets and mysterious aura spark curiosity and a hint of mischief among the youngsters. As Tess dazzles with athletic feats and Dot balances her beloved doll with daring hand‑springs, the girls are drawn into a playful tug‑of‑war between imagination and the ordinary rhythm of their small town. The story captures the exuberance of childhood, the allure of the unknown, and the bonds that form when a troupe of friends decides to turn a quiet afternoon into an unforgettable adventure.
