Part of the Princess Angelica series
A pretend lion trainer must save the day when a real lioness escapes.
Angelica, known as Jelly, spins a wild tale of being a lion trainer to impress her friends Joon and Leo. But when the lioness Mwezi escapes, Jelly's storytelling lands her in a real-life adventure. Can her imagination help her save the day, or will her fibs lead to chaos? As the kids look to Jelly for guidance, the stakes rise, and Jelly must navigate her way through a tangled web of her own making. Will her creativity be enough to tame the situation, or will her secret unravel?
Our favorite pretend princess, Angelica, aka Jelly, is back! A case of mistaken identity, a wild imagination and a love of storytelling leads Jelly to tell her friend Joon and the new kid she’s just met, Leo, that she’s a part-time lion trainer at the local animal rescue center. Her inventiveness has them completely convinced, but things get a bit more complicated when the resident lioness, Mwezi, escapes from her enclosure and the kids look to Jelly’s “expertise” to save the day.
