Nel is a wild, hippy fourteen year old girl, living with her mum in Cornwall, who juggles and does circus tricks. Eleanor is a straight laced fourteen year old girl, living with her dad in Derby, who likes watching TV and always does her homework on time. Except they're actually the same person! The story or how Nel/Eleanor learns to juggle both halves of her life, and her family, as smoothly as she juggles the little velvet beanbags is both entertaining and moving.
Featuring simple, illustrated instructions for learning to juggle, this book focuses on the valuable lessons this lighthearted pastime offers, from learning to keep a number of things "up in the air" at the same time to coping gracefully with mistakes by learning to "drop the ball" from time to time. Illustrations.
This is the story of a little majorette from Vendée who, starting from nothing, juggled two sticks, then three, then seven, and became world juggling champion in Las Vegas. It's also the story of a child, then an abused woman, who clings to this art with such strength and virtuosity that she goes on to work non-stop in the world's greatest cabarets. Shy, solitary and trapped in an unbearable sense of unease, Françoise flings her sticks before the astonished eyes of the audience in order to fight the demons rumbling inside her. Françoise's absolute desire to live and transcend her wounds lead her to forgive her rapists. For her, only two goals mattered: to live at peace with herself and to give herself the chance to meet her soulmate. Her exceptional testimony speaks of a path that it is possible to take after having lived through the worst. Perseverance, overcoming and rebuilding are all avenues of hope for those who, from an early age, have suffered unbearable violence and, with unsuspected courage, have always refused to let themselves be trapped in it. Listed in the Guinness Book of Records, Françoise Rochais has performed in over five thousand shows worldwide. She has won numerous awards, including the most prestigious competitions: the Festival international du cirque de Monte-Carlo (2020) and the Festival mondial du cirque de demain in Paris.

In Juggling, Stewart Lawrence Sinclair explores the four-thousand-year history and practice of juggling as seen through his life as a juggler. Sinclair—who learned to juggle as a child and paid his way through college by busking—shares his experiences of taking up juggling after an episode of suicidal ideation, his time juggling on the streets, and ultimately finding comfort in juggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. In many ways, this is a book about loss and recovery. From his own juggling story to clowns braving military checkpoints in Bosnia and Rwanda to perform in refugee camps to contemporary avant-garde performances, Sinclair shows how the universal language of juggling provides joy as well as a respite from difficulties during hard times.
A guide to adopting the most positive approach to every aspect of life.
Katie Wilkinson has found the perfect man at last - but one day he disappears from her life, leaving behind only a diary for her to read. The diary was written by a new mother, as a keepsake for her baby son. In it she touchingly recounts the initial romance between herself and the child's father, and the unparalleled joy that motherhood has brought her. As Katie reads this moving account, it becomes clear that the lover who has left her is the same man as the husband and father in the diary. She reads on, filled with terror and hope as she struggles to understand what has happened - and whether her new love has a prayer of surviving.
The extraordinary story of a young man’s plunge into the unique and wonderful world of the circus—taking readers deep into circus history and its renaissance as a contemporary art form, and behind the (tented) walls of France’s most prestigious circus school. When Duncan Wall visited his first nouveau cirque as a college student in Paris, everything about it—the monochromatic costumes, the acrobat singing Simon and Garfunkel, the juggler reciting Proust—was captivating. Soon he was waiting outside stage doors, eagerly chatting with the stars, and attending circuses two or three nights a week. So great was his enthusiasm that a year later he applied on a whim to the training program at the École Nationale des Arts du Cirque—and was, to his surprise, accepted. Sometimes scary and often funny, The Ordinary Acrobat follows the (occasionally literal) collision of one American novice and a host of gifted international students in a rigorous regimen of tumbling, trapeze, juggling, and clowning. Along the way, Wall introduces readers to all the ambition, beauty, and thrills of the circus’s long history: from hardscrabble beginnings to Gilded Age treasures, and from twentieth-century artistic and economic struggles to its brilliant reemergence in the form of contemporary circus (most prominently through Cirque du Soleil). Readers meet figures past—the father of the circus, Philip Astley; the larger-than-life P. T. Barnum—and present, as Wall seeks lessons from innovative masters including juggler Jérôme Thomas and clown André Riot-Sarcey. As Wall learns, not everyone is destined to run away with the circus—but the institution fascinates just the same. Brimming with surprises, outsized personalities, and plenty of charm, The Ordinary Acrobat delivers all the excitement and pleasure of the circus ring itself.
