Emma Carroll writes characters wonderfully, but what's even greater than the individuals are the dynamics that are created. The relationship between Louie and her father figure, Jasper, is touching; and the friendship she shares with Ned is fun and playful - both of which feel lifelike and natural. Our work today is below. Print out the worksheet and cut out all the squares on the right hand side of the sheet. Match each state – solid, liquid or gas – to a material and to its correct particle arrangement. This was my first reading experience of Emma Carroll's work and I'm glad to have discovered her books. One negative thing that I would have to say about this book is that I don't think that it dealt with some sensitive issues, such as loss, that well as I don't think it showed the effect that these issues had on the characters. But Louie doesn’t give up on her dream. Even after someone she loves has a terrible accident, a new act joins the circus, and Mr Chipcase still won't listen. There’s another circus nearby – a circus that is bigger, better and looking for a showstopper.
A beautiful, fantastical tale of the circus that "Opens at nightfall, closes at dawn." It is part- adventure, part- historical, part-love story; the sort of book that defies genre. Details are breathtaking; the circus is a magical, mysterious place where anything is possible. 8. Pantomime by Laura Lam As I mentioned above, Louie is passionate and what she is most passionate about is her skill of tightrope walking. This enthusiasm only adds to the magic of The Girl Who Walked On Air. From the queen of historical fiction, The Girl Who Walked On Air by Emma Carroll is an enchanting historical adventure for ages 9-11.

And the circus needs her too - Wellbeloved's rival show is stealing their crowds. They need a Showstopper. Desperate, Mr Chipchase reluctantly lets Louie perform. She is a sensation, and gets an offer from the sinister Mr Wellbeloved himself to perform . . . over Niagara Falls. But nothing is quite as it seems and soon Louie's bravery is tested not just on the highwire but in confronting her past and the shady characters in the world of the circus . . . Dapo Adeola, Tracy Darnton, Joseph Coelho and Chitra Soundar are among the 19 authors and illustrators longlisted for the Inclusive Books for Child... Once again, Emma Carroll has given us some brilliant characters which have stayed with me long after finishing the book. Louie, just like Tilly in Frost Hollow Hall is beautifully drawn. She is impetuous, independent, brave and indeed flawed but ever so realistic as a young girl which in turn, made her infinitely more loveable as a result. I really enjoyed reading about her relationships with Jasper and her friends Ned and Gabriel and was touched by the dark side of her past and her desperation to find out where she came from and where she belonged. The setting of the circus that the author chose was just as stunning and so descriptive that I felt I could picture events scene by scene, character by character, which led to many difficulties putting it down!
The plotline of this book is good, with plenty of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I was always wondering what would happen next and I was eager to learn more about Louie's past. Bestselling author Alexandra Christo, author of TikTok sensation To Kill a Kingdom, introduces her new book, The Night Hunt (Hot Key Books), a dark...The author paints a very clear picture of all the characters and weaves a very complex story with lots of twists. She uses dialogue brilliantly to bring her characters to life and give you insight into their personalities. There are many things I enjoyed about the writing within this book but the element I enjoyed the most is how visual the story was. I could see the characters, picture the circus and get lost in the Victorian setting. urn:lcp:girlwhowalkedona0000carr:epub:e5b48760-5390-46b8-a446-f348d99bf210 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier girlwhowalkedona0000carr Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t89h8fm6b Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780571297160 And the circus needs her too – Wellbeloved’s rival show is stealing their crowds.

Louie's journey isn't just about achieving her dreams, it's also about discovering who she is, where she comes from - her past. The two plots running alongside each other flow together well and make this book a mysterious read.

Having developed a mini crush on Will from Emma Carroll’s Frost Hollow Hall Moontrug was so excited to hear Carroll has a new book out – another enchanting historical adventure for 9-11 years: The Girl Who Walked on Air. It took me a while to warm up to the main character, thirteen - year - old - Louie, but she grew on me and I enjoyed reading the story from her narrative. Certain aspects of her personality, such as her bravery and her attitude, reminded be of Jacqueline Wilson's Tracy Beaker, who I liked reading about when I was younger. I really enjoyed reading about Louie's friendship with Gabriel. I thought that it was sweet and true. Coffee house Caffè Nero has announced the 16-strong shortlist for the inaugural Nero Book Awards, recognising the outstanding books of the past 12... Set in 1792, Chevalier's story follows Dorset carpenter Thomas Kellaway and his family to London, where he's employed to build props for Astley's Circus. The nightly shows in Astley's giant red "ampitheatre" are spellbinding. Yet behind the scenes we see a very different world that echoes the unrest in society at large. 3. Wild Boy by Rob Lloyd Jones
