Ten-year-old Lara Frizzle is a "Quiet Kid." Her voice is locked up tighter than a freshly cemented safe, and her school reports are full of words like "shy" and "fades into the background."

But Lara's only sanctuary, the quiet Serenity Gardens, is under attack. The truly awful Baroness Von Snout-a nightmare of high-altitude hairspray and lavender-scented desperation-is about to demolish it for her "Prestige Grooming Emporium."

When the Baroness's legal deed is stolen by Aerius-a grumpy, retired racing pigeon who wears a bottle-cap for a crown-a wild challenge is issued.

To save the park, Lara and Aerius must team up to win an absurd race against the Baroness's high-tech drone and her champion poodle, Precious III. The cargo? One single, perfectly preserved, warm crumpet.
