Mary-Ann is 13 years old. She is the youngest of 11 children and is herself already auntie to 15 nieces and nephews.
She lives together with her parents, her brothers and sisters and their families, her little dog Maggie, two other dogs, a horse, five ponies, five tigers, six ducks, three rabbits, four llamas, and five snakes.
But not in a big house. Mary-Ann’s family owns a circus and instead of a room, Mary-Ann shares a caravan with her sister Josephine.
