7 posts | 14 read | 20 to read
A ballerina, twirling on a wire high above the crowd. Horses, prancing like salsa dancers. Trapeze artists, flying like somersaulting falcons. And magic crackling through the air. Welcome to the Cirque American!Sixteen-year-old Jules Maroni's dream is to follow in her father's footsteps as a high-wire walker. When her family is offered a prestigious role in the new Cirque American, it seems that Jules and the Amazing Maronis will finally get the spotlight they deserve. But the presence of the Flying Garcias may derail her plans. For decades, the two rival families have avoided each other as sworn enemies.Jules ignores the drama and focuses on the wire, skyrocketing to fame as the girl in a red tutu who dances across the wire at death-defying heights. But when she discovers a peacock featheran infamous object of bad luckplanted on her costume, Jules nearly loses her footing. She has no choice but to seek help from the unlikeliest of people: Remy Garcia, son of the Garcia clan matriarch and the best trapeze artist in the Cirque. As more mysterious talismans believed to possess unlucky magic appear, Jules and Remy unite to find the culprit. And if they don't figure out what's going on soon, Jules may be the first Maroni to do the unthinkable: fall.

Another #BookSpinBingo book marked off. @TheAromaofBooks

I love books set in a circus. In this story there was magic, an old family feud, and all the fun aspects of circus life.

Something about it just never connected for me, and it's one of those books I liked while reading but will probably forget it.

TheAromaofBooks Great review!! 4y

I am not good with heights but I am fascinated by high wire & trapeze acts and I wonder what it would be like to #FeelSoHigh above the ground. These three books are in my stacks. I read & enjoyed The Orphan's Tale & the tagged book & Queen of the Air are #TBR & loaded on my Kindle.

Always a sucker for a circus story. Not the most spectacular but mostly enjoyable YA
