OverviewIn the 1860s, opportunities for a young farm girl on the outskirts of Montreal are slim and 12-year-old Lizzy has two choices: Take an apprenticeship and save her family farm, or run away to save herself from the life that's been decided for her. When the circus comes to town, the choice is easy-but she quickly realizes that no decision is black and white. She quickly adapts to life in the circus-and all of the tough training that goes along with becoming a StrongWoman and a trapeze artist. But as mysterious things start happening within her newfound family, she'll have to fight to save her friends and herself.

The book was based on real events, so I got to learn more about things that happened in the past while reading a really good book. I liked this book because of multiple things. I liked the plot line and the adventure mystery genre. The characters were also very well structured and they worked well together. My favorite character is either Tim or Marie because they are both very supportive of Lizzy when she is in the circus and they both try to help her fit in with her new life and they both push her hard but they also help her to be herself. I could barely put this book down and I would highly recommend it for kids from 10 - 13 years old, or kids who are uncomfortable with themselves or aren't appreciated for who they are. This book was amazing and it really helped me feel better about myself. -Ayleigh Creech Author InformationMolly Hurford is the founder of Strong Girl Publishing and has been called a chronic book writer by her friends. She's a journalist by trade, writing and speaking about all things cycling, running, nutrition and movement-related. She's the author of multiple books including 'Fuel Your Ride' and the Shred Girls series. When not actually outside, she's probably writing about being outside and healthy habits of athletes and interviewing world-class athletes and scientists for The Consummate Athlete podcast and website. She runs and rides in Ontario, where she lives with Peter, her husband, and DW, her mini-dachshund, who she definitely used as a character in the Shred Girls books. She's a little obsessed with getting people-especially girls-psyched on adventure and being outside. Those passions combined are what prompted her to start Strong Girl Publishing, in order to reach more young girls and help them find and stay in sports and outdoor adventuring.
