Meet Molly Mac, the curious girl who is always onto something. She's a whirlwind full of questions and she's out to find the answers! Molly decides she wants to be a famous animal trainer, but there's one problem - her parents won't let her get a pet. Molly's big chance comes when her teacher needs someone to watch the class hamster for the weekend. But her best friend beats her to it. Molly helps out, but the hamster has its own special plan. Will Molly get her chance to learn how to train animals? Or will she decide that a job as animal trainer is not in her future?
