Bookroo's summary

A family of hyenas, masters of disguise, face a new challenge: teaching a motley crew of animals to live as humans. With a hungry crocodile, a singing poodle, and runaway racehorses, their home becomes a circus. Can the Bolds manage this wild bunch and keep their secret safe? As tensions rise, the line between animal instincts and human behavior blurs, leading to unexpected twists. Will these creatures find their place in the human world, or will their true natures be revealed?

From the publisher

The Bolds–the hyena family successfully impersonating as humans–have become legendary in the animal kingdom. Soon their house is full of visitors hoping to learn how to pass as humans too. There’s a crocodile who can’t quite tame her appetite, a poodle who wants to be a famous singer, and runaway racehorses hiding from their owner. With so many houseguests, the Bolds have their hands (ahem, paws) full. Can they teach these outcast critters to survive in the human world?
