Squabbling, making up, getting chased by a grizzly bear who had enough of their antics, driving each other up the wall until they arrive at the blue-flower tree. There was no sign of Mathilda. Instead they met the charismatic Junta who hosted them in Carnival City. Bluma discovered a forbidden book in their hotel room, which raised red flags. Upon tracking the pair down, Leonard confirmed the children's suspicions. But he was too late.
Excerpt
It dawned on Leonard that his abductors dropped him on a small island, in the middle of nowhere. The lion had a brilliant idea. In old movies, a man stranded on an island would build a fire and send smoke signals to planes flying overhead. Then someone would notice the signals and rescue him. Now, how can a lion without opposing thumbs, start a fire?
