When tornado-force winds cause Sarah and Nicholas Fraser to seek shelter in the neighbourhood's barn, they get out of the storm but into big trouble! The property belongs to "Old McCurdy," a retired circus trainer who plays ringmaster to its wild residents: a cheetah, an ape, a python, and a tiger named Buddha!

In this sequel to Eric Walters' bestselling Tiger by the tail, Sarah and Nicholas Fraser set off to spend a week at zoo camp, compliments of their absent father. Initially reluctant to leave Mr. McCurdy and his menagerie of exotic animals behind, they resolve to make the best of it when they discover that this is their mother's big chance for a vacation of her own. Once they arrive at the airport, however, they quickly learn that the camp is not what it seemed.

In this follow up to Eric Walters' bestselling Tiger by the Tail and Tiger in Trouble, Sarah and Nicholas Fraser are back home and ready to take on more challenges. Mr. McCurdy and Vladimir are well on their way to installing the new animals on Mr. McCurdy's farm. Boo Boo the bear, Peanuts the elephant, Kushna the tiger, and Sarah's pet deer are joining the family of exotic creatures, and it's hard work moving them in.
