(4) 4-6 Orca Currents series. Talented high-wire walker Zack is enjoying his summer working at a youth circus despite an antagonistic roommate and a yappy dog he's stuck caring for. When an audience member threatens to shut down the circus after her necklace is stolen, Zack investigates. The easy-to-read story has an entertaining premise, but the supporting characters are underdeveloped and the mystery feels low-stakes.
