Summary: I loved this story. This book tells the story of a man named Philippe Petit who walked a wire between the two twin tours in 1974. Petit loved to walk thin wires and he also loves to dance. He decided that he wanted to walk between the two twin tours. He snuck in disguised as a construction worker. At night he threw across the wire and began to walk. The cops then arrested him and he was then made to only walk wire for children. The children loved him. The twin tours are now gone but the memory of them and Philippe will live on forever. You could use this book when talking about history and explaining the twin tours.
