Shoebox Zoo - Season 1

On her 11th birthday, Marnie McBride goes to a junk shop with her father to pick out a present.

Marnie now has to deal with the struggles of balancing her life between adventuring with the collectively named “Shoebox Zoo” animals on a quest to find an ancient book of magic, and her day-to-day life as a schoolgirl, on top of having to deal with the grief stemming from the loss of her recently deceased mother.
