GIRL ON WIRE
More than 350 years ago in China, a 16-year-old renegade monk called Ying led a brutal attack on his former temple. Only five young warrior monks managed to escape. Each young monk specialized in a different style of "animal" kung fu that reflected both his body type and personality. These young monks are known as The Five Ancestors. This third adventure tells of Seh - the Snake.
A poignantly beautiful story from the CBCA Shortlisted author of Suri's Wall, Lucy Estela, and Prime Minister's Literary Award shortlisted illustrator of Adelaide's Secret World, Elise Hurst.
Girl on Wire is a simple yet brilliantly uplifting allegory of a young girl struggling to build her self-esteem and overcome the anxiety that many children feel as they grow - she walks the tightrope, afraid she will fall, but with the support of those she loves, her toes grip the wire and she walks forward, on her own, with a new confidence.
