Description

The Girl Who Walked On Air is a captivating historical adventure set in England in 1875, penned by Faber & Faber. The story follows Louie, an abandoned baby who finds her home within the vibrant yet perilous world of Chipchase's Travelling Circus. As she grows up amidst the sights and sounds of the circus, Louie nurtures dreams of becoming a "Showstopper," aspiring to master the art of tightrope walking, inspired by her idol.

The Plot

Louie's journey is fraught with challenges as she uncovers a dangerous secret hidden deep within the circus. Her quest for self-discovery and ambition is tested as she navigates the complexities of friendship and rivalry. With every step, Louie learns to confront her fears and the sinister threats that lurk behind the glittering façade of the circus life.

Themes

  • Bravery: Louie's courage in the face of adversity showcases the strength of the human spirit.
  • Ambition: Her drive to achieve her dreams highlights the importance of perseverance.
  • Friendship: The bonds she forms illustrate the power of community and support.

The prose in The Girl Who Walked On Air is rich and evocative, capturing the essence of a bygone era while drawing readers into the emotional depths of Louie's experiences. Fans of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern or The Greatest Showman will find themselves enchanted by this tale of resilience and the pursuit of dreams.
