Summary |
"The Long Way Down" by Robb White, III, 1977. Book about an eighteen year old girl who wants to be a trapeze performer, finds she has a lot to learn when she joins a circus. From the dust cover: "'All right, listen. Swing back once more and then swing down. When I say go, you turn loose. Just turn loose when I say go. Don't move, don't try to grab me, just stay exactly the way you are and turn loose...' Tina clung to the bar, terrified, waiting for his signal. She could see him swinging by his knees over there, ready to catch her as if it were the simplest thing in the world. People said Danny York was the best in the business, and now that she had him, she wasn't about to give up until he taught her everything he knew about flying high on the trapeze. In THE LONG WAY DOWN; Robb White writes as if he'd spent his life under the "big top." His readers follow Tina right up into the rigging, sharing the pain, the fears, and the sheer incomparable joys of those who spend their waking hours flying from a trapeze bar at the top of a circus tent." |
