"Betti on the High Wire" by Lisa Railsback tells the story of a young girl named Betti who dreams of becoming a tightrope walker. Living in a world filled with challenges, including her own insecurities and the pressures of growing up, Betti must navigate her way through friendships, family expectations, and her pursuit of passion. With a circus-inspired backdrop, the narrative explores themes of courage, self-discovery, and the importance of believing in oneself. As Betti practices her balancing act both on the wire and in life, she learns profound lessons about resilience and the strength found in vulnerability.
