Winner of the Children's Books Ireland Book of the Year Award Winner of the Northern Ireland Book Award "Filled with fantastical but real-feeling joy" - The Guardian "A warm hug of a book" - The Irish Independent "Highs, lows, love and laughter" - LoveReading4Kids "Witty and clever. This novel really does sparkle" - Roddy Doyle "Kelly McCaughrain is one to watch" - Susin Nielsen A sweet and kooky romcom debut for fans of R. J. Palacio's Wonder, Sarah Crossan, and Susin Nielsen's We Are All Made of Molecules. Twins Finch and Birdie Franconi are stars of the flying trapeze. But when Birdie suffers a terrifying accident, Finch must team up with the geeky new kid, Hector Hazzard, to form an all-boys double act and save the family circus school. Together they learn to walk the high-wire of teen life and juggle the demands of friends, family, first love and facing up to who they are – all served up with a dash of circus-showbiz magic.
