Jack’s new babysitter is no ordinary sitter. She serves pizza for dinner, teaches him to juggle and suggests sleeping outside without a tent! At first, Jack’s worries make him nervous about trying something so unusual. But with a little encouragement, he discovers that circus skills can be exciting, funny and full of surprises. Can Jack overcome his fears, join in the fun and enjoy a memorable lesson with his adventurous cousin?
