In this follow-up to Eric Walters's 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.

But when a young boy sneaks into the big cats' barn, all mayhem breaks loose. McCurdy's old rival, the community's mayor, has an excuse to question the security of the exotic animal farm, and soon they're threatened by an overzealous inspector. Vladimir has a secret he can't expose, and when the local newspaper gets in on the action, animal-rights protesters invade the farm. To make matters worse, Sarah and Nicholas's mother is dating the acting police chief! Whose side will he take in the fight for Tiger Town?
