Cedar B. Hartley: Flying High: Flying High - Softcover

One minute Cedar's life is perfect - she, her best friends and her almost-boyfriend, Kite, are having the greatest time performing with their own little circus, The Acrobats - the next, Kite announces he's leaving town with his dad to join a real circus with professional acrobats. Cedar is furious. How could Kite abandon The Acrobats - and her? Then long-lost Aunt Squeezy arrives and introduces Cedar to Shakira and the other refugee kids at the Neighbourhood Network. Running a circus class for them, Cedar soon realises that the best way to stop feeling sorry for yourself is to stop thinking about yourself. So when Cedar is offered her own place at Kite's circus, she has to decide - should she follow her own high-flying dream or stick with her friends.

Martine Murray was born in Melbourne and still lives there. She started writing because she thought it would be a good idea to learn a practical skill like typing. Apart from discovering a lot about waitressing, cooking rice and yoga, she has spent most of her time studying impractical things (like art, acrobatics and dance).
