Review by Mabel

Thirteen-year-old Irene Danner has been on the high wire for her family’s circus for years. But as the Nazis and Hitler gain power in Germany, her father has to close the Lorch Family Circus. Irene, her mother, and her Oma (grandmother) move to Darmstadt, but her non-Jewish father is forced to fight for Hitler. Now she must work for another circus, while hiding the fact that she is Jewish.

Hidden On The High Wire

Review by penguina01

The book, Hidden On The High Wire is a book about a Jewish girl, Irene whose parents own a circus. Irene is a tight rope walker and has amazing tricks. One day the Nazi soldier's tell Irene's dad that he has to go. With a father gone, Irene her mother, and grandmother move to town and have to circus at all. Irene goes to the market to buy food and sees posters that are taking Jews away. Irene finds a circus that will cover her race and protect her while preforming and meets a lost friend. Read Hidden On The High Wire to find out how the story ends. I highly recommend this book for people who like adventures, the circus and more!

Great Book

Review by HRebeccaW

I really liked this book, it is about a Jewish family in the time of Hitler. They own a circus, and are great at preforming. I would definitely recommend this book!
