"Presented as if the reader is in the stands of the big top, this title in the Circus Science series places aerialists in the spotlight, along with the science that keeps them aloft. . . .The narrative text describes the movements of each performer, before highlighting the science in play. This is less about understanding exactly how this science works as it is about identifying the concepts and forces at work--several of which readers can test through suggested activities. A fun entry point for physics lessons.-- ""Booklist"""
