Lance Leftfoot's life was turned upside-down that day at the park. His Mom loses 'it' after an encounter with a lion. She saw the lion and froze, before turning into a kid. His hapless father, Mr. Tumble Leftfoot, is of no help! Mr. Leftfoot falls over at the drop of a hat. He has two left feet, you see. After Mrs. Lovely Leftfoot went bonkers in the park, she starts school as a second-grader. She ran amuck in the streets, did cartwheels on the sidewalk, and caused mayhem wherever she went! To make matters worse, crazy kid-mom sends their dog, William Wallace into the mountains to 'Find the lion!''. A whirl-wind quest follows as Lance and his kid-like mother go on a quest to find their lost dog, a lion, and 'it'. We learn of Mrs. Lovely Leftfoot's unfortunate childhood on a lion-taming farm. Her father Snool Sudbucket, a lout and a miscreant terrorized his poor children with moose-whippings and chimney hangings! Together, they encounter many curious characters along the way, turning their quest into a whirl-wind adventure of wondrous excitement. ('Lance Leftfoot and The Quest for a lion, a dog, and 'it' )
