Young Piccolo Grande lives in his fine old family home. But one fateful afternoon his neat and ordered life is turned upside down and inside out when noisy, round, and red-faced Annabelle bursts into his life. She claims to be his great aunt but Piccolo recognizes her for the angel she is - a guardian angel, sent to mind Piccolo. But where Annabelle goes, disaster follows, and in two shakes of a feather it is the boy who is minding the angel.

Piccolo is waiting at the dock for his friend Stella to arrive home from her holiday cruise on the glittering Sea Princess. What arrives instead is a smoky, stinky steamer. Piccolo is the only one who can see that the scruffy sailors are actually demons. Even worse, they're heading for the zoo with their cargo of stolen African wildlife. What if they discover the fallen angel Elspeth, imprisoned at the zoo in the form of a baboon? Piccolo has to stop them!

Piccolo Grande's ordered life has been turned upside down by his competition-crazy guardian angel. His fine old house has become an obstacle course of prizes that Great Aunt Annabelle has been winning at an alarming rate. Enough is enough! Piccolo devises a plan to give away, sell, or bank all the prizes. But little does he know that Annabelle's latest windfall, a bright pink motor scooter and sidecar, is about to lead them into a gang-load of trouble with a very wicked twist.

Great Aunt Annabelle has passed her very messy inspection and can stay on as Piccolo's guardian angel - for now. But with a newfound passion for entering and winning competitions, will Annabelle be too busy to notice if Piccolo is in danger? When Annabelle wins a party, who is the beautiful but mysterious visitor who arrives unannounced in a sleek silver limousine - is she friend or foe, angel or otherwise? Only a disastrous party will reveal her secrets and Annabelle's curious past.
