Twins Eddie and Izzie love animals. They want to look after ALL the school pets in the holidays - but the only one left is the grumpy lizard. The lizard cheers up once he goes home with them and eats the food he likes - they name him after his favourite. Then Cornflake grows two bumps on his back, which gradually turn into wings . . . He's really a dragon!
The twins know they have to keep such a rare animal secret, but it's hard in a small flat, especially when Cornflake starts breathing fire. Then a man turns up asking awkward questions and they really start to worry . . .
Can the baby Bigfoot, Snowball, be reunited with his family?
At the Secret Animal Society Sanctuary, hidden away in a remote corner of the country, Christmas is approaching. There's lots to organise with the winter weather drawing in, and all the endangered and rare animals to care for. Even fire-breathing dragons need food and shelter!
When twins Eddie and Izzie and their family are awakened by two yetis just before the schools break up for Xmas, they realise through sign language that a baby Bigfoot has gone missing. It is starting to snow again - finding a baby animal with white fur is going to be difficult. Eddie, Izzie and their little brother Toby all have to get to school for the end of term costume party so reluctantly they head out and the search continues without them.
At school, Toby discovers one of the children crying outside wearing a snowman costume. When the little boy doesn't talk Toby names him Snowball and tries to look after him. It's not long before the teacher realises what's happening and that it's not a child in costume after all! Snowball is taken to the zoo and it's up to Izzie and Eddie, with the help of Beth from the sanctuary, to sort out some quick costume changes and a rescue plan involving a sleigh powered by Cornflake the dragon. . .
The Secret Animal Society needs to help an old friend - Spike.
The Secret Animal Society - an organisation which protects those very rare animals few people know even exist - is located in a remote valley close to the sea. When twins Eddie and Izzie move there with their family, they're very disappointed that many of the animals keep themselves hidden. In fact, the only one they see regularly is Cornflake the dragon. Noah, the old caretaker, tells them that it's normal - there are some creatures that they haven't seen for years.
Then there's a sighting of an unidentified creature far out at sea, which seems to be heading to the sanctuary. The media goes into a frenzy - is it some sort of sea monster, a giant squid or octopus, perhaps? But it's really a sea serpent (a plesiosaur). Noah recognises its song - it's Spike, one of his favourite animals who no one's seen for years. But now Spike is returning to the society, and it sounds like he's in distress. It turns out he's got his baby with him, who's sick, and he's hoping the society can help.
