Animal-loving Lizza thinks nothing can be worse than her dad's taxidermy business, until Dad moves the family into an actual cave. Living inside a home carved into a giant rock formation in the desert is not exactly Lizza's idea of fun. She's on display for the curious tourists who tromp through her new home all day long. Lizza now has an even bigger goal: to get out of the cave and back into a real home.

Now Lizza needs to get her family back together before they're split apart for good.
