"I have so many super-amazing and IMPORTANT things to write about! I'll tell you all about them: Everyone at school is doing super-amazing tricks on the play equipment . We are going to perform an UNBELIEVABLE acrobat show. An awesome Circus Skills Workshop has come to town! They will teach us wild gymnastics tricks. But there's something wrong with my BFF Matilda. Why doesn't she want to do the trapeze with me? And how will we do our acrobat show if Matilda doesn't want to be in it I have to work out a way to make this show the best show ever!"--Page [4] of cover.
"The acrobat works in a circus, but nobody notices him. He decides to leave and find a new audience, but even his very best tricks fail to catch anyone's attention. But just as the acrobat is about to give up hope altogether, something extraordinary happens to change his luck"--Back cover.

The Flying Fur Balls' newest member, an acro-cat named Pete, who can perform tricks better than any other cat, has a secret that he hopes no one will ever find out, until one night when his lie is exposed.
