    The Orphan's Tale by Pam Jenoff
            Historical Fiction

Yes, another WWII book, but a little different. This one is based on a German circus that saved and helped many Jews during the war.  The author takes you into the life of the circus workers and shows you what hard workers they are and how the war affected them.

Noa is forced to leave her German home in disgrace and is taken in by the circus. There she meets Astrid, a Jewish trapeze artist, who begins to teach Noa how to fly on the trapeze. Both have secrets that help bond their friendship, but is that enough for them to save each other.
