Описание и характеристики
Chipchases Circus, England, 1875
An abandoned baby . . .
A tightrope walker . . .
A deadly discovery . . .
Louie, who was abandoned at Chipchases Travelling Circus as a baby, dreams of becoming a Showstopper, but Mr Chipchase keeps her hidden, tucked away in the ticket booth. No Death-Defying Stunts for her. But Louie has been secretly practising her act - tightrope-walking - and dreams of being the Girl Who Walked on Air . . . she just needs to be given the chance to shine.
And the circus needs her too - Wellbeloveds rival show is stealing their crowds. They need a Showstopper. Desperate, Mr Chipchase reluctantly lets Louie perform. She is a sensation, and gets an offer from the sinister Mr Wellbeloved himself to perform . . . over Niagara Falls. But nothing is quite as it seems and soon Louies bravery is tested not just on the highwire but in confronting her past and the shady characters in the world of the circus . . .

Покупала эту книгу дочке в подарок, очень понравилась. Написана достаточно простым языком, тому у кого уровень английского средний и выше, даже не придётся пользоваться словарем. После прочтения книги, дочь просила купить другие произведения Emma Carroll, так что у нас теперь полная коллекция. Также рекомендую книгу «letters from the lighthouse».
