I really enjoyed this book. Louise is a little girl, who has been training on a Louise-size trapeze and a tight rope that is very low to the ground so that she doesn't get hurt. When she is finally seven years old she prepares to practice her routine in front of her best friend and the ringmaster's son but something goes wrong. Louise becomes afraid of heights. I can totally relate to that because I have a fear of falling. This book shows young readers that everyone has fears. Louise is an adorable little girl with a big personality. The amazing two-color illustrations throughout can help young readers interpret the story in this early chapter book for next level readers who are ready for chapter books. This book is a fast read too since readers won't want to put the book down! ( )
