There, she is thrust into a world that is both brutal and beautiful, where she learns the value of hard work, passion and collaboration. With parents who run a famous circus in Las Vegas, she spends almost every night in the big top watching their lead aerialist perform, wishing with all her soul that she could be up there herself one day.Īfter a huge fight with her parents, who continue to insist she go to school instead, Harley leaves home, betrays her family and joins the rival traveling circus Maison du Mystère. Harley Milano has dreamed of being a trapeze artist for as long as she can remember. I love that this features a girl running away from home to join the circus and I just know that Bowman is going to put her unique spin on it and turn it into an emotionally engaging story that will have me reaching for my tissues. I adored this author’s first two books, Starfish and Summer Bird Blue, so she is basically an auto-buy author for me now. My selection for this week is HARLEY IN THE SKY by Akemi Dawn Bowman. It is a meme that I have loved participating in for over a year now, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme. “Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about.
