Abandoned at Chipchase’s Travelling Circus as a baby, Louie dreams of becoming a showstopper, a tightrope walker--The Girl Who Walked on Air--she just needs to be given a chance. And the circus needs her, too--Wellbeloved’s rival show is stealing their crowds.

Reluctantly Mr. Chipchase lets Louie perform. She is a sensation and gets an offer from the sinister Mr. Wellbeloved to perform...over Niagara Falls.

Soon Louie’s bravery is tested not just on the highwire but in confronting her past and the shady characters in the world of the circus....

I enjoyed every minute of this story. With its twists and turns i was fascinated as the main character unfolded on every page. The story made a welcome change of content and story plot. No magic: waving of wands, but a human story with insight and intelligence
Bought for my granddaughter but listened to by me, and then onto my granddaughter who also lived it too.

A great read

I just loved it. I was listening to it last night but I couldn't get to sleep it was so exciting!

The only thing is that the characters weren't quite as I had imagined them in my head.

Sensational.

My 10 year old daughter and I loved listening to this wonderful book. She said it is the best book she's ever read and that it is thrilling and exciting but full of magic at the same time! My son joined in half way through and was also hooked. It is a lovely empowering story and one I'd highly recommend!
