Step right up to the dazzling world of the Victorian circus in THE GIRL WHO WALKED ON AIR, an exciting historical adventure from bestselling author Emma Carroll.
It’s 1875, and life at Chipchase’s Travelling Circus is full of spectacle and secrets. Louie was abandoned at the circus as a baby and has grown up among performers, animals and wagons on the road. But although she dreams of becoming a Showstopper, the circus owner Mr Chipchase keeps her hidden away in the ticket booth, far from the dangerous performances.
Louie has a secret of her own - she has been secretly practising the most daring circus skill of all: tightrope walking. Her dream is to become the legendary Girl Who Walked on Air.
When a rival circus begins stealing their audiences, Chipchase’s circus becomes desperate for a star attraction. Louie finally gets her chance - and she amazes the crowds. But her new fame soon attracts the attention of the mysterious and sinister Mr. Wellbeloved, who offers Louie an extraordinary and dangerous opportunity: to perform above Niagara Falls.
As Louie steps onto the highwire, she discovers that the world of the circus hides more secrets than she ever imagined. To survive, she must face danger, uncover hidden truths and find the courage to follow her dreams.
