"Jackson uses her considerable experience and storytelling skills to create an adventure set in what is often considered a magical world. With deft precision, she intertwines the magic of circus with the reality of what it takes to be a part of it. Then she weaves in intrigue. Her characters live real lives and have real dreams. And the uncertainties that beleaguer the young circus troupe are real...A fast-paced adventure that will appeal to any young reader who has dreamed of "joining a circus", and to those who like mystery. Highly Recommended."

"Jackson has you dangling in the air as you follow the story of Zack Freedman, alias Zen, as he crosses the thin lines of metal high above the circus tent in High Wire...The suspense builds as he tries to solve a theft and follow his heart all at the same time."
