Circus Max

Description

Max has always wanted to be in a circus. The problem is, he's useless at performing. He's incredibly clumsy, no good at acrobatics, and his tricks all go wrong, no matter what he does. But that doesn't stop him trying... When his school talent show is announced Max knows it's his time to shine. Can he prove to his friends and family once and for all that the circus is the place for him?
