14-year-old Zoë is an acrobat. She lives with her parents in a Dutch circus and the aerial silks are her favorite discipline. She practices often. She climbs high into the silks which hang down from the top of the circus tent. Her favorite tricks are the 'drops.' Zoë wraps herself into the silk so that when she lets herself fall, the cloth catches her just above the ground. She falls because of gravity. Zoë wants to know more: how does gravity work? She uses her new knowledge of gravity to let a cookie tin roll upwards, swing a glass of lemonade upside down without spilling it and let an egg fall without breaking it. Finally, Zoë prepares a great act in which she uses gravity to shoot herself to the stars.
