I really enjoyed this book. It has beautiful illustrations, which are set up in various ways throughout the story. Some pages have two or three pictures per page, while others have one large fold out page. I also liked one of the pages where there are three similar pictures, but the reader sees the changing colors from night to dawn.
This story is set in New York City, specifically around the twin towers. It tells the story of Philippe Petit. He was a performer who would tightrope walked between trees in the park. His dream was to one day walk between the two towers. He is an ambitious character with a neat story.
I really liked how this story ends. At the end of the book the towers are no longer standing, but the author ends the book on a sweet note by saying that these towers are still remembered. Along with this memory is that of Philippe’s spectacular show of walking between the towers. I also liked how this story was based off actual events.
