In the fourteenth book in the hilarious illustrated children's series, Rafe feels like a caged lion at his summer job at the zoo - until a real lion desperately needs his help.

Rafe is days away from sweet, summer freedom - but his bad grades have other plans for him. He can't fail a summer job, right?

Working in a zoo sounds great but Rafe is stuck polishing his boss's car, digging oven pits and scrubbing... toilets.

This time, it's more than just his grades on the line.
