The book stars Emily, a young girl who lives at Funfair Moon.Moon, which is an amusement park on another planetoid. She's lived there ever since she hatched in the Lost Property Office, and loves everything about it. It's got the biggest roller coasters, the spinniest tilt-o-whirls, and the tastiest cotton candy in the galaxy, and her favorite people are Mr. Jinks and Mr. O'Hare, the maintenance crew who keep all the rides running smoothly. She wants to be just like them one day.
However, trouble seems to be brewing on Funfair Moon. A new safety inspector, Mr. Jeremy Moonbottom, and his assistant Miss Weebly, have come for a surprise inspection of the park (even though they already had an inspection last week), and he seems determined to find any flaw he can and use it to get the park shut down. And if that weren't enough, rides and attractions all over the park are starting to malfunction. Emily, together with Mr. Jinks and Mr. O'Hare, need to get to the bottom of all this so they can fix up the rides and save the park.
The book was published on February 14th, 2017.
