My dad, Miguel, is our teacher, and my mum, Lily, is an acrobat and a dancer. My Uncle Marc's an acrobat too. He also drives one of the big circus lorries. I'm ten, a year older than Jim. I like drawing and computers. Hello, I'm Jenny. I'm Jim's twin sister. Jim likes science and computers, but I like sport and taking photos. We're going to travel round the world again this year, but we're going to go to different places. And now here's my best friend. Hi, I'm Su-Lin and I'm ten. My grandparents, Fred and May, are designers for the circus and my mum, Zoe, is a singer. I love travelling, so I'm really excited about our next world tour! And so are we! Wonderful! That's perfect!
