This is the first of two books in the Dream Makers book. The story is about Jo Wilder who works with the lions in the circus and Keane Prescott whom inherits the circus from his estranged father, whom happened to raise Jo when her parents perished in a fire. wow that was long winded! Anyways good book, but you can definitely tell, published originally 1983.

I read this a few years ago.......
and althought it was dated, as you said, it was still a good read!
