- There are nine—9!—main “characters,” all of them real-life teenagers.
- They speak three different languages—English, Hebrew, and Arabic. And not all of them speak English, the only language I know.
- They live in two different countries—Israel and America—in way different time zones.
- They’re experts in subjects I knew nothing about—diabolo, firestaff, the difference between rockets and missiles, the tensions in Ferguson.
- Almost all of the information in this nonfiction book had to come from personal interviews because there were practically no secondary sources.
- Did I mention that they’re teenagers, with much better things to do than talk with a nosy writer?
- I spent weeks in St.Louis and in Israel with families in the Jewish town of Karmieland the Arab village, Deiral-Asad.
- I conducted over 120 hours of interviews, figuring out ways to communicate through translators over Skype, Facebook, telephone, text messaging….
- I spent three straight months working here:
(The clown nose on my monitor kept me company the whole time.) |
- I even tried the kids’ tricks, including mini-tramp and globe!
Each one of the nine—two Israeli Arabs and two Jews plus threewhite kids and two black kids in St. Louis—tell fascinating true stories about overcoming personal, physical, and political obstacles. Iking Bateman, for instance, faced off against gang members. ShaiBen Yosef faced being teased. In the process, all of them became professional-level performers with CircusHarmony (in action here) and the Galilee Circus(in action here).
Most of all, I kept on because of what these young people taught me:
- “There’s a universal language between humans, and it’s not necessarily through speech.” (AlexGabliani)
- “I learned how to rely on myself and believe in me.” (HalaAsadi)
- “Arabs and Jewish people can be together. There’s nothing impossible.” (HlaAsadi)
- “Circus is not about competition.” (Shai Ben Yosef)
- “Without boxes, borders or boundaries, I built dreams.” (Iking Bateman)
This post is exactly what I needed to read today, Cynthia, as I'm feeling daunted by my own project. Can't wait to read your latest!
Looks great! For upper elementary audience? Brave you to try the mini-tramp and globe and then to post the videos online!
This is a terrific post. Really helpful. Thanks, Cynthia, for sharing your frustrations and process.
This books sounds stupefyingly fantastic, Cynthia. It's gonna fly off the shelves with 'the greatest of ease!' Can't wait to read it, and after I do, I am sure I will give it FIVE CLOWN NOSES! Congrats.

Can't wait to read your book – and share it with my Jewish circus performing daughter who has overcome being relentlessly bullied!

A friend told me about this book. I can't wait to read it.
I look forward to read and sharing with my 7 year old granddaughter, Eden!
Thank you, Jennifer. I hope the Flying Kids will help undaunt you!
Yep, Diane, upper elementary through middle school. It wasn't so brave to try the tricks but posting the videos online was definitely fool hardy!
We all have frustrations and might as well own up to them.
Five clown noses! I love it–thank you.
Thank you, Sarah. I hope so.
I deeply sorry to hear that your daughter has been bullied.
Thank you to you and your friend!
I hope you have a good time reading it together.

Do not include any symbols with your phone number only use digits. For UK numbers, include the country code. These results come from two experiments conducted by Pew Research Center using its American Trends Panel (ATP), a probability-based, nationally representative group of people who have agreed to take multiple surveys and receive text messages about them. The first experiment examined the effect of sending a text as a first notification to take a survey. The second experiment examined using text messages to remind people to take a survey. These messages were sent several days after the initial notification. All major mobile-phone carriers have e-mail addresses that feed into your SMS inbox (see our diagram for specific addresses). If you have a smartphone and an all-you-can-eat data plan, you can use your phone’s e-mail client to send as many texts as you want for no additional cost. Of course, this method has its limitations: In order to determine what address to send your message to, you first need to know what cellular provider your friends have. I suggest asking your most-texted contacts who their providers are. With that information, you can program the proper e-mail address next to their names in your phone’s address book. https://seafk.org/discussions/profile/christystodart/ Your recipient receives an email from @msg.fi.google.com with your 10-digit Fi phone number. For example: I am sorry but I still have trouble understand I know my friend can send me a picture she had sent me one since I got this phone she sent it to me about 4 to 6 weeks ago. She also has an iphone. I know when I try to send people thing I happend to notice the stuff that whould not go through even to my friend is when any type of message comes or goes under the subject area I need help fixing so I can send thing also iPhone 3GS straight talk with AT&T compatible SIM card. Roseanne Google just rolled out a new feature that lets you send text messages straight from Gmail to a contact’s phone. To enable this option, open Gmail, click on Settings, then go to the Labs tab. Scroll down until you see “Text Messaging (SMS) in Chat” and select Enable and Save Changes.
