Back of book says: Mirette wants Bellini, the world famous high-wire walker, to teach her how to walk the high wire. But after years of performing Bellini is afraid. Can Mirette teach Bellini how to have courage again?
I say: Takes place in France in late 1800s so the slightly impressionistic, colorful, full of action full page illustrations are just right for this story. Author based Bellini on the real high wire walker Blondin, but the story is fiction. Looks at training for difficult feats, helping friends, French life of that era, achieving a goal.
