(4) 4-6 Master Melville's Medicine Show series. Eleven-year-old Sullivan Mintz is completely average except for his juggling ability. His life is unsatisfactory: he’s either helping his parents run an old-age home or being bullied in school. So is it an improvement when he’s abducted and made to join a traveling circus? Despite flashes of humor and insight, this series debut is cluttered with quirky characters and never quite comes to life.
