by Francesca Lombardo

He needs the help of the sloppy Magician with the 1000 Hats before the royal invitation turns into a nightmare. Then they receive another important invitation; this time to a royal horse-racing event where the London Bus gets unexpectedly horsed around while Beatrice becomes ... famous! Now the sky is the limit. Beatrice arranges a bizarre exchange programme between Westminster Palace and London Zoo, but short-sighted MI6 spoils it all. And there's more trouble a-brew in the city - London Eye gets miffed with the fiery Mayor and goes on fun-strike! Beatrice must sort out the argument and win the best cabin party in the sky before the impossible happens ...
