when a herd of wild boars attack an animal rehabilitation centre and a giant anaconda is terrorising the Everglade

don’t believe that these incidents can be explained away by the heat. Especially not since the appearance of a
mysterious researcher from Miami who has set up his base in the swamps. This McRibbon character certainly doesn’t
seem to be focused on animal welfare. Is it his fault that all the wild animals have suddenly gone crazy?

Dance alert in Leni’s school! Even the usually super-cool Maya can only think of dance routines and colourful
costumes. When Leni and Flo accompany her to dance lessons they meet Emma. The little girl is supposed to be
playing the Sugar-Plum Fairy in the performance of The Nutcracker. But all her courage seems to have disappeared.
Will a false friend destroy Emma’s dream? Emma is distraught, her dance teacher has no idea what to do. Leni, Maya
and Flo want to help – and of course they turn to Ariane Arruga’s magic tailor shop!
