Summary
"Perfect for Ivy and Bean fans. A high-flying series." -- Booklist
The Louise Trapeze chapter books are perfect for circus-lovers and fans of JUNIE B. JONES, with adorable illustrations from Brigette Barrager, illustrator of the New York Times bestseller UNI THE UNICORN.
Fact: Louise Trapeze never loses anything. Things just go missing! Like her dazzling light-up hula hoop and her polka-dot sandals. But Louise isn't going to lose another thing, ever. No way! Not even if an amazing fortune-teller predicts that she will lose something priceless. And especially not when her tooth starts to feel wiggly-jiggly . . .

Horn Book Review
Seven-year-old circus performer Louise Trapeze has lost her polka-dot sandals and her light-up hula hoop, but she's determined not to lose her tooth as well. Louise--in her guileless Junie B. Jonesesque narration--faces her fears and finds her lost belongings with help from her friends. This fourth installment of the effervescent series includes orange-accented line drawings that add to the festive atmosphere. (c) Copyright 2018.

Booklist Review
One thing readers have come to know about Louise Trapeze is that she desperately wants to be seen as grown up she's seven years old, after all. Previous titles have broached bravery, responsibility, and heroics, but this newest installment tackles some of the confusion that accompanies getting older. Louise is 96 percent excited that her circus troupe is performing in Teeny Tiny Town, but she's also feeling 4 percent mixed-up on account of her first loose tooth. Scared that it will be a bloody, painful affair, she keeps her wiggly tooth a secret, but Madame Fortuna's prediction that Louise will lose something she has been losing a great many things since coming to Teeny Tiny Town, actually sends the little trapeze artist into a panic. Ostow has written another relatable story that will resonate with kids who feel conflicted about, or maybe a little bit scared of, growing up. Louise's concerns are on point, as is a reassuring message about the help and support friends can supply. As usual, Barrager enlivens Louise's ordeal with whimsical two-toned illustrations.--Smith, Julia Copyright 2017 Booklist
